Joy was a bubbly, “joyful”, kind and caring individual who will be greatly missed by her family, friends and community. She was a hard worker with a great work ethic, who worked hard, then ran her own business successfully, all while raising her family and caring for elderly parents.
She was greatly responsible for gathering several friends and carrying out a “BEACH KIDS” reunion several years ago at Abner’s crab house which was very well attended and greatly enjoyed by everyone in attendance.
She and I were only acquaintances but we were involved in trying to provide assistance and advice to an individual in the area who was in need of friendship and concerned and caring people in her life.
May Joy rest in peace in the arms of her God and loved ones and may her family’s memories provide comfort to them. God bless you all.

I have so many good memories of Joy through the years. She had a very upbeat personality. I would often run into her in the grocery store! I know she stayed busy until she could do no more. I send my condolences to Jack and Joby and the rest of the family. Sending thoughts and prayers.
