Mrs. Joy C. Watson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Once upon a time in the town of Decatur, IL, Joy C. Watson was born to the union of Ovelia and Tommie Harris, Sr. on December 11,1959. Joy understood the importance of living life with Jesus Christ as her Savior, and she accepted it at an early age in her hometown at a Baptist Church. Joy knew her potential and grew extremely independent and pursued entrepreneurship on her own with many amazing endeavors and accolades which included a special award from the Mayor of Milwaukee for her bravery. Her" Joy" of taking care of others grew and she stepped into the home healthcare arena where her love and passion for others shone bright. Her radiance and "Joy" continued to shine, and she met her knight in shining armor, her forever friend, and her soulmate. She was swept off her feet and love was in the air. This love and "Joy" brought about wedding bells and the life of "Joyful Joy" and Ron took full flight. The love story blossomed, traveled, and grew, and "Joyful Joy" and Ron [Superman) were inseparable. God had a plan for Joy, and she gained her wings on February 7, 2022. She is preceded in death by her father, Tommie Harris, Sr.. her grandparents, and her brother.
