Joy worked as a jailer for the Woodbury County Sheriff's Department for six years, she then began a career as a resident counselor for the Sioux City Boys and Girls Home for 29 years, retiring in October of 2021 due to poor health.

Joy loved crocheting, shopping daily at the Goodwill, and just sitting outside bird watching and admiring her many flowers. She loved HGTV and all of the cooking shows. She also enjoyed going to Las Vegas and Florida. She always told bad jokes that she expected laughter from, and her family Friday nights. She especially enjoyed taking her mother and going to the casino, and out to lunch.

Joy is survived by her daughter Stacy Ferris (Billy) of Sioux City; mother Greta of Sioux City; granddaughter Sara Gritten and her fiancé Korey Stolze; sisters Jill Wright (Roger) of Moville, and Beth Kelly of Sioux City; nieces Abbie and Emily Kelly; and a host of many friends.
