Joy was an amazing woman whose soul was beautiful inside and out. She had a heart of gold who was always there for others. She was a fun, loving, and an all around kind woman. Joy was a devout Christian. She was an adventurous woman who loved being outdoors and traveling. She loved her trips to the Caverns in New Mexico, seeing the Grand Canyon, driving through the Giant Red Woods in Northern California, taking hikes to see the amazing waterfalls and majestic mountains in Oregon and Washington State, driving through the beautiful National Park of Yellowstone, and seeing Mount Rushmore. Joy also loved working in the yard and gardening. She enjoyed remodeling homes, and cooking for her family and friends. Joy was quite the artistic individual who often made crafts for her grandchildren and friends. Joy loved the days she could go fishing and she always caught the most fish. What Joy loved the most of all was the time she spent with her family and especially her grandchildren. Joy will be forever loved and missed by all.
