She has a daughter named Casey, son named Michael, and two grandkids that she absolutely adores. Through the years, Joy became a stay-at-home mom and loved volunteering at the Shriners Hospital and volunteering for the PTO at her children’s schools and spending a lot of time planning school events and fundraisers. After 37 years of marriage, she became widowed. She remained in their longtime home and spends as much time with her two grandchildren, Charley and Porter, as she can.
