Joy R. Dugan

Joy Dugan loved many things, but at the top of that list would be her family, her faith, and her home. The home she lived in for over 67 years while she built her life around her family and her faith. The home that held a lifetime of precious memories. The home she wanted to stay in until she died. And for those of us who loved her, it is with a mix of heartbreak and happiness that we celebrate the fact that she was able to do just that. Joy Dugan died in her home on May 2, 2023, at the age of 90.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth C. Dugan Sr., their son, Kenneth "Sonny" Dugan Jr., a sister, Beverly Jean Bissmeyer, and brothers, Lonnie Wheeler and Jarvey Wheeler.

Grandchildren, Christopher Stallings, Misty Martin, Joshua Dugan, Joseph Comprone and Jake McGlaughlin. Great-grandchildren, Susan, Alec, Tyler, Nautica, Jayd, Isaiah, Xander, and Lucas, and great great grandchildren, Ori and Zayden.
