We are so heart broken over the loss of our beautiful friend and spiritual sister. Joy & Quinn was such a beautiful couple that really enjoyed spending time together. They were a sterling example for Christian couples. We will really miss Joy presently but we look forward to a delightful reunion in God's new world. May Jehovah continue to bring comfort to Quinn all her family and the many friends who will deeply miss her!

I'm so sorry for your loss you have my deepest sympathy, I loved Joy very much, that picture of Joy is so beautiful, it describes who she was as a friend and Sister serving Jehovah faithfully,that smile is what I will always cherish

Joy was such a beautiful, faithful, fabulous and funny sister that truly loved Jehovah. She set a fine example for wives, mothers, aunts and friends by the way she consistently served Jehovah despite any ailments she may have had. Her and her husband Quinn were the best of friends, and when you seen one, you seen the other. Being married for 56 years is such a blessing and no one can question the love the two of them shared. She also loved her children, especially Sean and his wife Tara. I love all of them dearly and we will definitely see Joy in the New World with her fancy hats, clothes and shoes...and most of all, her contagious smile. Most likely she will want to build her own cruise ship in God's New World instead of a house because she lovvvvvvvvvvvvvved going on cruises. Her happiness was intriguing and her name JOY couldn't be more fitting. She brought many who knew her a lot of joy by just being in her presence.

My sincere condolences to the Johnson/Hunter families. I love you all. In just a little while longer...
