Dear family,
We are so saddened to hear this news.
We have many HAPPY memories of Joy. Her name says it all. She was a joyous person. Loved her sense of humor..her laughter … her loving ways. Remembering how she loved reading and sharing what she read. (even little kids books)
Our hearts are heavy, but we rejoice in her reunion in heaven and she now is in the comfort of Jesus.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Love you.

To the family of Joy White,
My sincere sympathy to you all in the death of Joy. We were high school classmates, in 4-H togehter and good friends in school. I was working in Ames the same time she was there also. Then later, I would see her in Winthrop or Independence. Always a jolly, happy-go-lucky, smiling gal with an unforgetable laugh.
She will always remain a bright star in my memory and I hope in yours too. You are all in our thoughts and prayers!!
Sincerely,
Ruth A. (Aitchison) Crawford

My mother just told me about Joy passing away. Needless to say, I am shocked. For those that don’t know, Noah and Joy took me in during my senior year in high school. John and I were very close friends and I was having problems at home. Both Noah and Joy treated me as their own and never asked for a thing out of me. I remember those times as some of the best in my young life as they guided without pressure and helped me thru a very troubling part of my life. I think of the “White House” (yes it was also the color white) and so many things come to mind..
While it is more common now, Joy pierced my ear when I asked. The first boy in East Buchanan High School with one! I forgot about that until now….
I lost touch with the family after joining the military but think of them often. I offer my prayers and deepest condolences. Joy was truly inspirational to me.
Please feel free to contact me at hdsports@hotmail.com. I would love to hear from everybody.

We were very sorry to hear of Joy’s passing. Even though she has been gone from Buchanan County for quite awhile, she will long be remembered for her easy smile and her “Joyful” laughter.
