My Aunt Joy was that kind of person any kid would want. I still remember Joy taking us to Goodrich's for ice cream and malts. She had a certain touch driving the three on the tree with a clutch rolling backwards before taking off especially those hills on Spring st. I´ll always remember my Aunt Joy as being a kind, gentle, caring, loving and beautiful person. She spent her time on this earth always giving and helping. She will be loved and forever missed by us.

I was a member of the 1976 St. Thomas More Grade School graduating class where Joy Neneman was the principal. She was an outstanding and kind educator and person and I have so many fond and lasting memories of her and my experiences at STM. You don't realize at the time how fortunate you were to be in such a great educational environment. May she RIP.
