I had the privilege of working with Joy during her tenure as Executive Director of Montana Shares in the early 2000s. Her intelligence, tireless dedication, and deep commitment to Helena´s nonprofit community were nothing short of inspiring. Joy approached her work as a calling, and her cheerful spirit made collaboration a joy in every sense.
My deepest condolences to her husband, Mike. Joy´s legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the community she helped strengthen.
