Joy was a talented lover of the arts who was involved in community and educational theatre where she nurtured countless unforgettable bonds. She brought numerous sets to life, performed in shows at the University of Dayton and a few community theatres in Lorain County, and taught all aspects of technical theatre to the youth. All that Joy committed to she did with her whole heart. She was deeply rooted in her faith and above all else treasured spending time with her family. Joy's ability to give unto others was just one example of her endless love and generosity. She ends this Act of Life with her final bow.
