Joy and I were classmates and graduated from Central High School, Class of 1955.
I remember her as a very sweet and kind young woman. My heartfelt condolences to her family.
Lori and Kim,
Condolences from the Rupp family.
We are thinking of you.
Dear Kim and Lori May God give you comfort and peace at the passing of Joy. I always enjoyed visiting with her through the years. She was a nice, fun lady.
Lori and Kim – peace to your families and your hearts ♥️ it is so hard and sad to say goodbye to our mamas. Dementia started taking her away awhile ago but that doesn’t stop the pain of her passing. I remember your mom as having a very strong personality, and not taking any fuss from the kids in her home. And I remember her divinity! It was so good!
So sorry for your loss of your Mom, Kim and Lori. It is always so hard during this time. Your Mom was such a sweet lady and a great nurse.
May her memory be eternal.
We pray for the comforting only God can give and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Pete and Susan Juba
