Joy was a loving and caring parent, grandparent and friend.  She was proud of her family and loved spending time with them.  She would especially light up with joy when seeing her granddaughters and great-grandson.  When growing up and into adult life, Joy spent many years at their family cottage in Oak Orchard.

She is survived by her two sons, Max S. Brown and wife Cindy Martin, and Jay M. (Jill) Brown; her grandchildren, Autumn (Andy) Kastein and Amy (Garrett) Gee; her great-grandchild, Griffin Kastein; nieces, nephews and special friends.
