All the boys on the team always knew to come to her car after the game for a pop and candy bar, a lot of the times she even shared with the other teams and many of the kids in town have continued to call her "Grandma Joy". She always said kids liked her because she was their size. She was small of stature but big on attitude and love of her family.
