Joy loved God, and life to the fullest. She made each moment count. She was resilient, strong and a person of integrity. She loved to help people and you could always count on her. She was a dedicated mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She also loved to play games, watch soap operas and boy did she love reality television.

Nunnery-McCann of Gainesville, FL, her granddaughter, Isis A'aliyah Craig and great grandson, Brayden Lee Scott of Orlando, FL. She also adored her stepchildren, Regeena, Reginal and Quintell.

She loved her family and friends very much. She greatly appreciated them so much for assisting her with everything, whether it was taking her to a BBQ, to church, or even a doctor's appointment.

Thank you to all of our family and friends for their support during this time.
