Joy
Hardy Marshall, 61, of Summerfield died Wednesday, June 8, 2005. Mrs.
Marshall was an O.R. nurse. Born in Keene Valley, New York she moved
to Lady Lake from Saudi Arabia in 1993. She was a member of Leesburg
Church of the Nazarene, the Leesburg Women's Bowling Association, the
Florida Bowling Queen Association and was active in the Church Choir.
In an e-mail from Wayne Marshall: From: "Wayne Marshall" <wjmarsh1@netzero.com> Joy had two children, Andrew W. Marshall, Jacksonville, Fl and Evelyn J. Locke, Oxford, FL. Joy graduated from the Baptist School of Nursing in Nashville, TN and practiced her nursing (Operating Room) in Florida Hospital(s) in Orlando and Altamonte Springs. Early in our marriage I took and assignment working for Trans World Airlines in Athens, Greece. We stayed in Athens for two years and that was where our son was born. We came back to the USA (Florida) and Joy resumed her nursing at Florida Hospital. During our time in Florida, our daughter was born. Five years later I took an assignment working for the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO) in Saudi Arabia. We lived there for 17 years and Joy also worked for our company hospital in the operating room. Our children were 3 and 5 when we went over there and that is really the only childhood home they remember. Our company had an American school on our company compound for grades 1 through 9. Then our children were sent to boarding schools in the United States. Andy went to Blair Academy in New Jersey where he graduated and Evelyn graduated from Montverde Academy near Clermont, FL. Upon retirement we settled in The Villages located just north of Lady Lake, FL and have since moved to our present address. Joy was an avid bowler and bowled up until March 2005 when her cancer came back. She was diagnosed with 'Inflamatory Breast Cancer' in January 2004 and during that entire year under went chemo, masectomy, more chemo then radiation treatments. At the end of the radiation treatments, 2nd week of December, we thought we had this 'licked'. Things started looking favorable. Then March, the redness and excessive swelling started all over again. With Joy's medical knowledge I think she knew that her time was limited. They found the cancer had moved to the brain. Radiation treatments were then performed on the full brain. It just wasn't meant to be. She was not afraid of death for she knew where she would spend eternity. She was one strong Christian woman and always was one of His servants. Our entire marriage was like a honeymoon and all I have are wonderful memories that I am very proud of. She was a wonderful wife, mother and friend. I will certainly miss her. I have given you a small portion of Joy's life. I don't believe anyone knew what happened to Joy Hardy after her graduation in 1961. Joy Hardy Marshall was laid to rest in the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL on June 13, 2005. Respectfully submitted: Wayne D. Marshall, Husband |
