Joy had several vocation's in this life. God's Child, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Nurse, Pioneer of Heart Transplantation. She was the third heart transplant patient at K. U. Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas. She lived 14 months making another vocation in her life to fight for one, transplant donners, and second for Medicare to pay for this needed surgery, translation of human organs. She did not get to see this happen, but it did just a year or so after her death. Her only organ that was transplantable for human use (because of the surgeries and medications) was her eyes. We received notice two people were able to now see because of her donation. She unselfishly gave her heart back to science so they could learn of the effects of rejection medication to the heart.
She was loved by all that knew her.
