Known to her grandchildren as “Mom Mom” and Great Grandchildren as “G.G.”, she loved every precious moment with them, however it was spent. She will always be remembered for her delicious Sunday dinners. She would always ask everyone sharing if they “have enough” and say to them “we have plenty”. She also enjoyed playing her piano and singing “when no one was listening”. In her early years she even made recordings on LP78 vinyl albums. Joy was extremely proud of her beloved sons, Tanner Mountain Band. She loved life. She loved God. She will be missed by those who knew her most and well.
