Elizabeth Joy Wooten, 87, passed away on Saturday, January 10, 2026, in Georgetown, TX. Joy was born August 26, 1938, in Mayflower, Texas to the late Lewis and Gladys McGee. She was the youngest of three children, both brothers Leland and Thomas Troy McGee preceded her in death.

She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Ray Wooten; daughters Candis Guidry (Susan Campion), Sandra Tucci (Michele); son Doug Wooten (Krista); and grandson Memphis.

Joy graduated from Luther Stark High School where she was active in the band as a twirler and drum major with the Bengal Guards. She was with Firestone Synthetic Rubber and Chemical Plant working in accounting and in traffic management for 38 years. She was often recognized for her performance excellence, especially in her attention to detail.

After retirement, Joy and Ray moved from Bridge City to Georgetown to be near their daughters. Her sister-in-law and sidekick in fun, Omie (Milledge) Bonham also moved to Georgetown to be near their children and to enjoy the beauty of central Texas.

Joy was a beautiful person, both inside and out. Her warmth and compassion touched everyone she met. She was the cornerstone of her family providing unconditional love and support. She took great pride in her role as a grandmother, cherishing every moment spent with her beloved grandson, Memphis. Beyond her immediate family, Joy was the matriarch to many nieces and nephews, always offering guidance, encouragement, and affection to those around her. Her legacy of devotion, kindness, and strength will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Joy had exquisite taste in fashion, every outfit was thoughtfully coordinated, from her jewelry and handbags to her shoes. Joy was known for her beauty, wearing fresh makeup and her signature lipstick. She also had a passion for seasonal decorating, shopping and hosting family gatherings; holidays were always filled with love, laughter and fabulous food.

She was known for her sassy humor, keen memory of funny quotes from family and friends and love of games of chance especially when held in a casino. Joy and Omie, her partner in slot machine madness, traveled as often as possible to try their luck. And luck they had! Joy also enjoyed neighborhood Bunco parties, where her competitive spirit and enthusiasm for the game were always welcome additions to the festivities.

Please join the family to celebrate Joy’s life, planned for Saturday, 1/31/2026, at 2:00 PM at the Cook-Walden Davis Funeral Home located at 2900 Williams Drive, Georgetown, Texas 78628.
