I can't believe I'm writing this... I have so many fond memories of you dating back to my childhood. It's hard to believe that I won't be receiving your calls and emails anymore. I will miss our conversations about your trips between New Jersey and Florida, and your genuine interest in my children (teaching them about jewish traditions and bringing them souvenirs from your travel) and their well-being. You were like my Jewish auntie to me- your workout regimen, your trips and your children, you were ALWAYS keeping me informed about your life. I can't help but mention how much you loved my mother, Judy; she was definitely your girl! 

I truly believe that the best goodbyes are those without any lingering anger or unresolved issues. It brings me solace to know that you (and my mother) have finally found peace. Thank you, Jackie for always being there for me after my mom passed away and for your unwavering support throughout my life. You will be dearly missed! ❤️

I worked for Joy (Jackie) office name for many years.  We worked hard but enjoyed being together.  I found her to be a good and fair boss but even more a sweet friend.  I have many nice memories of our time together.  When she was in New Jersey we often got together.
I will keep her in my heart and pray for her.

Joy,
The day we met at the house on Hillside we hit it off right away. 
Loved spending all those summers with you. They will never be the same.

Joy was a great friend to me.  It’s because of her that I play golf, pb,  go to the Wed night pb dinners and so many other things.   Joy loved life she didn’t care what people thought.   Her attitude was if I want to do it I’m going to do it.   I learned a lot from her.    I will miss you dear friend.

True to her name, our fabulous friend brought Joy to all who knew her. She was a strong, interesting, and vibrant woman who gave new meaning to being a great friend. Always up for something fun to do, Joy was always the "star" of our annual Ventnor shore house, leading the way to the latest restaurant, fireworks on the beach, going out dancing, enjoying a perfect beach day, shopping at the newest boutique, chatting out on our big porch, and so much more. I'm happy to have known this wonderful person these past 18 years and will miss her terribly. You were the best, Joy. R.I.P.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Joy’s passing.  We learned pickleball together in Ventnor, NJ several years ago and had many good laughs together as well as had a few nice walks together on the boardwalk.  I will miss her and cherish the memories!  Susan Robinson 

I’ve known Joy for over 25 years. We connected the first time I met her at a share house in Sea Isle city and  became friends instantly.
She convinced me to move to Wynmoor which I will be forever grateful. Never heard of it before. For many years she would come to Philly and we would go to holiday services together(Debby remember) The women sedars she had every Passover.  Her positive attitude. She will be missed. 
My sincere condolences are sent to her family. I know you have shared a lot of good times and have much to remember. 
Thinking of you 😍

I have known Joy for over 40 years, and proud to call her my friend. We laughed and talked a lot during those years about everything. Joy was an example of how  to push through challenges, to keep going, to never give up. She also was a sterling example of making sure to have fun in life, which we did. I will really really miss talking with her and hearing her laugh. 

I met Joy playing pickleball at Wynmoor. She was always a fierce competitor and kept everyone on track with the score. We danced together in Zumba as well. Joy will be missed by our Wynmoor community. May she Rest In Peace and May her life be for a blessing.
