She graduated from Slinger High School in 1965. After high school she married and raised two sons while working periodically as a CNA.

In 2012 their twin granddaughters were born and they decided it was time to move back to Wisconsin and be with family and friends.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept my faith: Therefore there is laid up for me in Heaven a crown of righteousness which I shall receive from the Lord when I pass from this life and enter into the glorious Heavens. When I leave this earth and you think of me; think of me walking hand in hand with our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to leave a legacy of love and faith; character and true peace.” (Joy Haynes, 11/13/18)
