Background
In honor of Joy’s life and legacy, we are raising funds to plant a memorial tree with a commemorative plaque at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a place she cherished deeply. Rather than sending flowers, we invite you to contribute to this lasting tribute in a space that brought her so much peace and joy.
Thank you for helping us celebrate Joy’s life in a way that reflects her love of nature, beauty, and enduring kindness. Contribute
