My beloved 'Aunt Joy' will be missed, especially her kind and gentle spirit. Her name was so fitting as she was indeed full of Joy. She embraced life with wit and charm and seemed to live life to it's fullest. It was a treat to have an Aunt who traveled and lived all over the world but always managed to stay "grounded" in the things that mattered.
Today, Easter Sunday, would have been her birthday. I celebrate her life!

I have very fond memories of Aunt Joy and her love of life and her love of beauty. She took great joy in noticing the beauty of nature around her and took time to drink it in. Aunt Joy lived her life. She was known for the wonderful marriage she and Chester built. She was a life-time learner. Joy shared many wonderful moments with my Mom and her sister, Mary James. She loved to travel and had an easy and distinctive laugh. There are specific phrases in my mind that will always be "Aunt Joy sayings" for me. Her daughter, Beverly, gave everything to fulfill Chester request that she "take care of her Mother". I am richer for having known her and she will be missed.
