Ms. Dauphinais worked as a cashier at Stop & Shop in Marston Mills for many years. Joy will be remembered as a very giving and loving person. She was always taking care of someone whether it be giving someone a ride to an appointment, cooking meals for someone, or providing a home for someone who needed a place to stay.

Joy was always smiling and she loved her job at Stop & Shop. She loved people, the band Pearl Jam, and she called her mother and sisters every day. She most loved being with family and close friends. She was a definite cat person but loved all animals.
