Ms. Joy was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Lucy Baker; her husband, George Lorance; siblings Martin Baker and Jewel Pitts.
Ms. Joy was a dutiful wife, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many. When Joy was 4, she and her family moved to Kansas where she enjoyed riding horses and spending time with her siblings. Around the age of 13, Joy and her family moved back to Tennessee where she graduated from Cannon County High School. Joy was a Cannon County Lionette and assisted her team in taking third in the state basketball championship. From 1958-1965, she worked in accounting at the Sears Tower in Nashville. She also spent several years working at what is now known as First Bank prior to the birth of her daughter, Holly. Ms. Joy was a homemaker until she started as a secretary at Woodland School, prior to finding her career in social work. Ms. Joy was a social worker with the Cannon County Health Department where she was named Public Health Worker of the Year for the state of Tennessee and retired after 20 years of service. She was also a long time member of Pleasant View Church of Christ and enjoyed spending time outside gardening as well as watching good movies.
Ms.Joy was a beautiful woman on the inside and out. She was a hard worker, always thought of others, and never met a stranger.
Private services will be held per the family's request.
