Joy was known to never meet a stranger and always with a smile on her face. She loved getting to participate in church activities, especially with vacation bible school, meals and special events. She loved to sing in the choir. She loved her trips out to dine with family and friends and shopping sprees. She loved to help her Mom with meals and her specialty was mashed potatoes and potato pancakes. Her favorite household chore was doing the laundry. She loved spending time with her Asbury Family and her favorite activity was Bingo. Her passing leaves a hole in our hearts. I am sure there was jubilation as she passed in Heaven when she joined her parents and siblings.

The family will receive friends Friday, May 21, 2021, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at McCammon-Ammons-Click Funeral Home with the funeral to follow at 7:00 PM with Rev. Bruce Farrant. Family and friends will meet Saturday, May 22nd at 10:00 AM at Tuckaleechee United Methodist Church Cemetery, Townsend for a graveside service.
