Joy grew up in both the Hutsonville and West York areas. She would go on to work for TRW for a number of years, but her heart was for her home, where she lived with and loved on her cats! Anyone who knew her could attest to the love she had for her four-legged companions as well as her inherent sense of happiness, no matter what life threw her way. She was also known to collect dolls and spent countless hours crocheting afghans for them and for her loved ones. She and Ken were longtime members of the New Hope Baptist Church, where they worshipped the same Savior who made a way to the eternal life they are both experiencing today and forevermore. A time of visitation will be held from 9:00-10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 24th at the Goodwine Funeral Home in Robinson.
