Joy resided in See Chapel, Duncan, and Beaver, before moving to Lindsay in 1997. She married William Riley on January 22, 1951 at the Grady County Courthouse in Chickasha. She loved her family and was so proud of them. She always took real good care of them and had her children dressed immaculately. Joy could cook like no other and her pies were the best and she made sure no one ever went hungry. She never missed a school event or class party and followed her grandchildren to all of their activities. She was loved and respected by her family, friends, and acquaintances and she was the glue of family, but could give you the what for when you needed it. Joy always welcomed anyone to the family. She was a member of the Erin Springs Baptist Church and loved singing in church and going with her family to Falls Creek. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
