Joy was born in Grafton, WV on March 3, 1928 to her Step-Father Percy Dadisman and mother Flora Alice Colebank Dadisman. The family moved to Tucson, AZ when Joy was a small child. She grew up on Forgous Avenue, attended local schools and met her husband to be at the age of 18. Joy had a beautiful singing voice and even sang professionally for a short time in Tucson.

Joy loved her family dearly and was a loving and devoted mother and nana. She loved to read, sew, knit and crochet. She loved to laugh and have fun. She loved being with her great grandchildren, to rock the babies to sleep, or watch cartoons with them on her lap. As they grew older, she loved to play a game of aggravation, help them play dress-up, or even just sit and listen to them tell her their hopes and dreams.
Joy was a warm, giving woman, and a loyal friend. She always had a ready smile and a kind word for anyone who passed her way. Her bright loving spirit will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends.
Joy was preceded in death by her step-father Percy Dadisman in 1939, her mother, Flora Langan in 1985, brother Lawrence Dadisman in 1998, Anderson Corbitt in 1979 and Harold Wright in 1998, and her great granddaughter Miranda Nicole Summers in 1999.

Joy leaves her dear friends Ruth Browning & Victoria Brejla as well as the members of the T.I.O. Club that she attended and enjoyed so very much every Friday morning.
Joy was baptized into Christ in 1997 and was a member of the Church of Christ. She loved the Lord deeply and went to Him daily in prayer.
Heaven will be brighter place because of her presence there. To all of you who enriched her life, thank you for recognizing what a special person she was. Mom, I will love and miss you every day of my life. You will live on in our hearts.
