She was a wonderful person! Called her “Momsie”. I just learned to play her favorite game of Fish with her a week before she passed. Fond memories.
She will be missed!

She was a wonderful woman. She always had a smile and was always making people feel loved and welcome. Her laugh was infectious and she was always full of energy. She will be missed!
Always glad to see her smiling face. She would brighten the gloomiest day. An.astute card player that taught me a few things. Was loved and will be missed.
I always loved to walk down the street from my Grandma’s house to go visit Auntie Joy as I grew up. It was always a nice time sitting around the table and talking about the going-ons of the moment. I love her lots and will miss her dearly!
I love that Auntie Joy was always and unconditionally happy to see me. She somehow thought the nickname of “Claudi’ might somehow offend me but it was music to my ears. Made me feel safe, special and accepted. She is one of the few who it was comfortable and welcomed to be called “Claudi”
