Joy was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. She enjoyed helping her husband with woodworking projects, cooking meals for her family, crocheting, spending time at the lake, working crossword puzzles and spoiling her grandchildren.
Joy retired from JCPS after working 41 years as an executive secretary for seven superintendents. She graduated from Shawnee High School in Louisville, where she was valedictorian of her class. She went to work at Louisville city schools the day after her graduation in 1949. She spent her entire career in service to public education. She was a Baptist, and taught Sunday school for many years.
