Joy was a certified property manager in Shreveport for 25 years. She was a member of the Republican Women of Bossier City.
Joy loved to play Wordscapes and dominoes, winning way too often. She also loved watching the deer and turkeys roaming outside her window. But her favorite hobby was reading. Especially, sitting in her rocking chair by the fire on her cabin deck. She called it "Paradise."
However it is written; no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9
