Publish in a newspaper
Joy's life was filled with music and laughter. As a professional yodeler and a member of various singing groups, including the Sweet Adelines, she shared her love for music with everyone she met. She also enjoyed the art of dance, teaching dance in her youth, which exemplified her passion for creativity and expression. Beyond her artistic pursuits, Joy dedicated much of her life to caring for others, working as a caregiver in the healthcare industry and providing foster care to those in need, showcasing her unwavering compassion and generosity.
She was a devoted Christian, regularly attending church and instilling her faith in her family. Joy's love for life was evident in her many hobbies, especially gardening and walking, as well as her enthusiasm for exploring new places through travel. A social butterfly, she never knew a stranger and brought joy to the lives of those around her.
Joy is survived by her children, Julie Moeckel-Dunn, Karen Moeckel, Sharon (Gregory) Unger, and Paul Moeckel. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren: Ashley (Andreas) Garcia, Kayla (Luke) Dunn-Taylor, Phillip Dunn, Abigail Dunn, Chase Moeckel, Aaron Moeckel, Morgan Moeckel, Autumn Moeckel, Jacob Moeckel, Matthew Moeckel, Kelsey Huseman, and Kaitlyn Huseman, as well as her five great-grandchildren.
Joy was preceded in death by her husband, Odas Day, parents, Noel and Betty Marquis, sister, Carolyn Marquis, and brother, William Marquis.
