Joy Ledina Farris-White

1974 - 2017

Joy Ledina Farris-White
Brentwood
Joy was welcomed into this world to her thrilled parents on August 14, 1974. She passed to a better place on March 12, 2017.
She was born an old soul, very bright and happy. Joy attended elementary school in Boulder Creek and junior high and high school in Felton, California. She went on to attend Ohlone College in Fremont and Merritt College in Oakland. She retired after 17 years at Kaiser, lastly working in the E.R.
Joy was a vintage, rock-a-ability, spicy, sassy, fashionista with a warrior spirit. She loved her children above all else. She had a weakness for animals, especially her "fur family" Thor, Marley, Salem and Ami.
She loved Brentwood and bought a house here so her children could have a better life. She relished being a "Garin Mom" and was her saddest when she could no longer participate in school activities.
Joy is survived by her mother Sharron Tucker Farris, father Les (Sue) Farris, her adored children and best friends Jasmyn Jones, Isabella White (10) and Logan White (8), her much loved brother Wes (Bethany) Farris and sister Tina (Rick) Farris-Bergstrom. She is also survived by her nephew Wesly (Lana) Farris and their son Roman, her aunts Janice ("A.J.") Bouris, Pam (Dan) Dowler and uncles Gary (Babs) Tucker and Tom Tucker, as well as several cousins. She will be loved and missed by her many friends. Also, survived by her estranged husband Rodney J. White and his family.
The family would like to thank Kaiser Hospice Martinez; Richelle Mendoza, R.N. and special "Sissy" Grace Preddy, without all of whom this journey would not have been possible.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Tess' Community Farm Kitchen, 8091 Balfour Road, in Brentwood on Saturday, April 29, 2017 at 2:00.
