she was devoted to her family. She was always supportive of her
children's and grandchildren's activities, in and outside of
school, especially their musical pursuits. Music was clearly
an important part of her own life, as well, and she always enjoyed
attending live performances whenever possible. Friendly and
outgoing, she was an active member of a service organization, Psi
Iota Xi, that ran a Thrift Shop in Bloomington. She worked at the
Indiana University golf course and was also an avid golfer, playing
and winning awards at the IU course and local country club. Joy
also won trophies as a member of a local bowling league. She was
always a sports fan, especially college sports, and remained a
loyal fan of Indiana University, in particular. Her jovial, social
nature and lively sense of humor was appreciated by many throughout
her life.
