Donna Marie Joy died at age 76 at the Westport Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Richmond, Virginia on September 6, 2023. She was born March 24, 1947, in Longview, Texas to the late Raymond David Joy and Martha Ellen Marshall Joy. Graduating from Westhampton College, University of Richmond in 1969, Donna had a successful career in the banking industry. She was a member of Grace and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church and an active member of the Altar Guild. Donna had a deep passion for helping others and one of her favorite places to volunteer was St. Mary’s Hospital. She was also a strong advocate for mental health funding and services which lead to her involvement with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Survivors include her brother, David Timothy Joy (Cindy), beloved niece and nephews, Martha Lynn Brown, Joshua David Joy (Monica), Kyle Timothy Joy, and great niece, Faye Lynn Joy. It was Donna’s wish to donate her body to science for the purpose of research and helping others. Donna’s home for the last ten years of her life was The Barrington in Richmond and a memorial service was held last September for friends and family in the area. A graveside memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 2:00 pm at Union Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, 12935 Red House Rd., Brookneal, Virginia. Henderson Funeral Home and Cremation Service of Brookneal is assisting the family.
