She is from a family of twelve. Family was everything to her. She is the daughter of the late Joseph and the late Theresa (York) Shiner. She worked as an accountant for Axel Electronics in Richmond Hill, then went on to work as a Pension Coordinator for The Operating Engineers Union Local 14/14B in Flushing, New York where she worked for over 20 years and reluctantly retired from the Union in 2016.

When her grandchildren and great grandchildren came along, they were the hot fudge and cherry on her coffee sundae. They became her reason for living. She was a voracious reader and her favorite color was yellow. She was proud of her Irish Catholic Heritage. Joy was a visible, active, devout member of Saint Helens Church in Howard Beach and in their choir for over 20+ years. She was active in her Howard Beach Community, helping others in many capacities, always as a servant to others. She was selfless. She was Love Personified!
