Joie was like a second mother to me all through High School and again after I was discharged from the Navy. She is missed.

I had the pleasure of knowing Joey when we both worked for The Kansan newspaper. She always she very kind & had the greatest sense of humor. She was a very good friend to me. My daughter was crazy about her. She loved her family & talked about them all the time. She was the hardest working person. My thoughts & prayers are with her family. Vicky R Eddy (Hulen)
