Joy loved crocheting, shopping daily at the Goodwill, and just sitting outside bird watching and admiring her many flowers. She loved HGTV and all of the cooking shows. She also enjoyed going to Las Vegas, and Florida. She always told bad jokes that she expected laughter from, and her family Friday nights. She especially enjoyed taking her mother and going to the casino, and out to lunch.

Joy will be missed by her loving family which includes her daughter Stacy Ferris (Billy) of Sioux City, her mother Greta of Sioux City, her granddaughter Sara Gritten and her fiancé Korey Stolze. She is also survived by her sisters Jill Wright (Roger) of Moville, Beth Kelly of Sioux City and her nieces Abbie and
Emily Kelly and a host of many friends.

She was preceded in death by her father Edward and a brother Jeff.
