Active in her community Joy also volunteered with the Red Hills Horse Trials, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society and as a Voting Precinct Captain.

Joy is survived by her children- Penny Joy (Felicia) Wilhelmy, and Eric Wilhelmy; daughter-in-law Joy Wilhelmy (formally Farmer); grandchildren Kristin, Steven, and Maria “Rebeca”.
