Joy Craft

In Loving Memory of our beloved mother Joy Lucille Craft.

Joy Lucille Craft, age 80, beloved mom and wife, went home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on Thursday, January 19, 2012 in her home in Moses Lake. Joy faced a four-year battle with kidney disease with courage, grace, dignity and perseverance with her strong faith in the Lord. Joy was born December 11, 1931 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the oldest of 8 children, to Ervin Eugene and Ruby (Blew) Phipps.

Joy absolutely loved her family from the depths of her heart and soul. She is truly our angel above.

Mom, you will fly away, soar like an eagle.

Joy was preceded in death by her parents Ervin and Ruby Phipps, her husband Loyd Alonzo Craft, Sr., two sons Tom L. Craft and Loyd A. Craft, Jr., two brothers, two sisters and great-grandson Wyatt Dillon Caviglia on February 2, 2011.

Joy is survived by her daughters Alona Dee Jones, Sheri (Joe) Osborne, Judy (Mark) Effenberger, Robin Einfeldt and daughter in love Terry Craft, 28 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren, and many friends.
