Dawn Kovarik wrote a sympathy message

“Aunt Joye was one of the most selfless people I have ever known. She lived her life to make others happy and had a heart of gold. She loved to cook and would always make some amazing food each time we would visit. She never failed to send a birthday and anniversary card every year. I was always amazed at the the stories she could tell about the travels she and Uncle Jim experienced throughout their years. She was an amazing woman. Rest in Peace, Aunt Joye. Dawn Webb Kovarik”
