Joy met the love of her life George William Wilkins while attending a church dance at the age of 16 and 4 years later they married on June 27, 1952. Joy and George were inseparable and loved having family and friends around, they hosted many parties for hockey, baseball, horseshoes, Christmas, New Years and so many other celebrations. Joy belonged to « the Hens » (hockey wives) where they love doing crafts, cake decorating and other projects.
Joy enjoyed many hobbies including knitting, gardening, painting, and reading. She particularly enjoyed baking, especially when accompanied by any of her grandchildren.
Joy worked at Mason Windows in Pickering as a Manager until she retired at the age of 67 which provided Joy and George the « extras » in life. Together they bought land in 1964 and built a cottage in the Kawarthas. This special place became known as « Georges Joy », and for a span of 55 years it was where family and friends enjoyed a life filled with love, fun, good food many activities, celebrations and hard work. Everyone knew there was an open door policy. It will always be a place that holds special memories for the entire family.
