A kind and dedicated work colleague who always put the needs of others before her own, and a woman of many hidden talents. A privilege to have known Joy.

Joy, you were, Quite Simply, Fabulous!! I will wear your earrings with pride. They are lovely. X

A pleasure and a privilege to have worked alongside the unforgettable, funny and extremely hardworking, Joy, from when she was a physiotherapy student and all the way through until she retired.

A truly lovely person

Joy on the Topic Float at the Bradford Lord Mayor's Parade

In Lister Park the morning after a gig at Bradford Festival

The annual carol singing in south Bradford area. My favourite part of Christmas. Joy used to take me there and back again despite being miles out of her way. She was so kind.

So sad to lose lovely Joy (though she would say 'Get over it! Life goes on!'). One of the first people to talk to me (Joe) when I started going to the Topic Folk Club when I moved to Bradford in 1982 and a friend ever since. So glad that we got to see more of each other again in recent years despite us living in York and that Joy & Fiona got on so well. Thanks for all the lifts to carol singing!

Never was a person more aptly named than Joy, a 'joiner,' a giver, and a general positive force for good in the world. And she liked dangly earrings, like me! She will be much missed and fondly remembered by many. RIP Joy. I'll think of you whenever I'm putting those earrings on, which is often. Xx.
