Ogden was been her lifelong home, where she was reared and educated graduating from Ogden High School. Joy continued her education at Weber State College, majoring in Child Development. She was a lifelong member of the Emmanuel Church of God in Christ, where she was proudly served by lifting her voice in the choir. She considered it an honor and a privilege to be anointed with the gift of singing God's praise, often singing "Even Me Lord" and "The Blood".
