I moved to Tradition in October, 2017,  and along with the joy of having a new home, I found the most wonderful neighbors in the world, Joy and Randy!   Joy was generous to me in many ways: offering decorating advice, friendship, and checking up on me when I disappeared inside my home.  Our time together was short but the memories long and happy! 

Joy's pride & joy was with her son and his family and I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

My condolences to Randy,  her beloved husband, and his daughters and family, who Joy made her own!    Please know that I am here for support during this most difficult of times.

Joy will be missed and loved forever!  Attached is a photo of our Christmas outing 🎄

Joy was my 1st cousin, our Dads were brothers.  Lots of weekends were spent just hanging out.  When we were preteens, Joy developed a love of shopping, I chose to ride my bike......even today, she still would suggest that I try a little bling!!
For much of our adult life circumstances separated  us.  About 15 years ago we reconnected and had great visits, trips and telephone chats.
Our last conversation was Maundy Thursday.  She and Randy were getting ready to visit Joe and his family over Easter.  She was so happy they lived within driving distance and she would be part of the grandchildrens lives.
On 4/11 I called, expecting to hear her cheery, "hey hey".  Instead, Randy told me Joy was in a coma.
When I think of Joy, I remember, her laugh, her love of life, her love of family and friends, her beauty, her sense of decorating, how she loved to give gifts, her key lime pie ...... her lifetime sense of grace.....Gifts from God that she utilized so well. 
Randy, Joe and family:  Although Pete and I are in Pennsylvania, our love and thoughts are with you.  How grateful we are for Joy's life.
Pete and Sherry


It is with a heavy heart that I share my memories of Joy.
Joy was my best friend and considered her my sister since we were 5 years old. She always had a smile and positive attitude. When Dave and I started our family she was thought of the perfect Godmother for our daughter, Carolyn.
 I will always cherish our years growing up and the happiness she brought to our family. 
 Joy was very supportive to me and my family through the recent death of my husband, Dave and for that I will always be grateful for her guidance and strength she showed me life goes on.
Our family was so blessed to have her, as she was so special to all of us. 
My deepest sympathy goes to Randy, Joey and their families.

Knowing Joy has changed our lives forever. She shared so much of the warm, loving, caring person that she was with all who really knew her. She truly enjoyed life and brightened every moment. We were fortunate enough to be with her and Randy, on vacations, day trips and picnics in the park.  She always managed to make every event something special. 

Joy will be in our hearts and minds forever and we truly are humbled by  having enjoyed this wonderful, special friend.

Love you, miss you, mean it.

Joy and Randy were part of what we called the Merry Methodists which is 
A group of 5-6 couples  who met through church.  We would meet once a month at one of our homes for a carry in type meal.  When at Joy and Randy’s home we always had such fun filled evenings.  There will be a huge
Empty place  at our tables with Joy not being there.  But always present in our hearts. Joy always lived up to her name, bringing Joy to who ever she
was around. We loved her and miss her. Ruthie and Paul Watmins

The first time my Grammy got to meet my son Liam (Her great grandson).

Joy was a proud member of the 1st graduating class at Sun Valley High School.  To this day she was still involved with her many friends from those past school days.  On our reunion website everyone has expressed their deepest sympathies for her family and friends, and how much we will miss her.


I was blessed to have had a godmother who encouraged and loved me from the very day I was born.  My faith is stronger from her example.  Ourhearts aches for Randy, Joey and the family as they mourn. We must remember-God is always with us.  We pray that Psalm 23 will be a reminder of His love for us in this time of mourning.  Recalling the words from our pastor at my Dad's recent funeral and reading Ecclesiastes 3.1-4  For everything there is a season.   Each of us are better for the season in our lives where Aunt Joy made a difference and we are each better for that opportunity.  

With our love and deep sympathy-Carolyn, Gary, Courtney & Caylee Cuppernull
