Joy was a very social person. She enjoyed any event or holiday that family was involved in. She was very involved in her son’s sports activities, both attending and transporting him to the games. Joy also was very proficient at sewing and crafts.

Her many years of employment involved customer service and retail which gave her a chance to socialize. Joy never met a person she didn’t make her friend.

In her later years she continued her antics entertaining the staff and residents at the landings of Oak Island.
