“To the family of Joy Webster. We are sorry to hear about Joy's passing. It was always enjoyable talking to her when we would see her, and later I was able to visit with her when she would call me from her new home in Waukee. She was such a great friend to Mom who always cherished her friendship. Our sympathies to all of you. Connie”

“I go to church at St. Boniface in Waukee. A few years ago, while teaching faith formation classes, we chose Joy to connect with and had the children make cards and notes periodically to send to her. Joy liked to meet the kids, so we would go visit her at times. Close to Christmastime, we went to see her and played bingo, drew pictures, had deserts and Joy told stories of Christmas past. It was so wonderful to meet with her, the kids all enjoyed their time with her. She really was a true Joy.”

“My dear Aunt Joy, you were alway one of the brightest lights in my life. I will never forget you rest in peace. Linda Kennedy”

“Joy was aptly named. She brought joy into our world in many ways, especially through her children, their children and their children. She was a joy to be with and will be deeply missed. We pray for comfort for all she touched. Joy, your peace is now assured.”

“I enjoyed many bridge games with Joy. Also enjoyed our conversations at the library when she came to find an interesting and challenging new book or series. Our prayers are with all of you.”

“Joy worked alongside me when I served as a psychologist with West Iowa Community Mental Health Center in Sac City during the late eighties. What an invaluable resource she proved to be! Not only did Joy know everything about Sac City and everyone who lived there, but she had great people skills that made my job during those farm crisis years a whole lot easier. We were reunited in the nineties when we both worked with Carroll Psychiatry in its Sac City office, and by then had grown to be friends as well as colleagues. Joy knew me well enough to realize that I would enjoy hearing the news that she had become a published author before me, although she probably didn't also realize that her literary success late in her own life became a source of motivation for me and my own writings. Proud as she was to have seen her pieces in print, however, she was always prouder of her children, to whom I direct these condolences because Joy's passing is indeed a loss.”

“The loss of JOY is a loss of joy to so many people .. My prayers and thoughts go to all her Family and Friends . Playing Bridge with Joy was always a great experience . She taught me so much about the game and a little about life . She will be missed . ”

“We wish the entire family our profound sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Joy was great to know and loved her families. Quite an aggressive card player in the Bridge circle. A cheerful soul. Susan & Steve”

“We are so sorry for the passing of Aunt Joy. Our heart filled condolences to her loving family. May you find comfort in knowing she was loved and will be missed. ”

“Jeannie and family, Your mom lead a full and long life and now rests peacefully in the arms of Jesus. Her chains are gone. ”
