Fast forwarding to her years in Jasper that began in the mid 1980's......

On January 16, 2009 Joy was privileged to become wife to Terry Drew Warden.

Together they built a life of peaceful contentment.  What a blessing to spend the final 15 years of your life with someone who cares deeply for you.  For this she was truly grateful.
