Joy grew up in Leesville where she met and married the love of her life — Kemp Tucker. Together they moved away from Leesville, eventually ending up in Shreveport where they began their family. After a tragic accident took Kemp from her, Joy moved back to Leesville where she served many years as the Leesville Junior High School Librarian. Widowed, she raised three children, showing them love, giving them security, and providing for their well-being as only a loving mother could do. She was an amazing woman! For the last eight years she resided in Fort Worth where she was a member of the First Baptist Church of Everman. She left many dear friends in Leesville and made many new ones in Fort Worth. Joy had many loved ones around the country she kept in contact with by phone or mail through the years of her life. The family is grateful for the friends God gave her and appreciate their love for her.
