Read More	Edna Joy age 94 of Midland, South Dakota, died March 29, 2013, at the Philip Nursing Home Edna M. Eckert was born on July 10, 1918 to John and Marie (Koerner) Eckert. She was raised at the family farm 9 miles south of Midland. Edna was baptized and confirmed at St Peters Lutheran Church. There were 8 children in the family, Edna being the oldest girl was responsible for helping her mother with the chores and younger brothers and sisters. As a young girl she was not too excited about playing with her doll as she had real babies to tend too. She walked or rode a horse to the country school two miles from her home which she attended through the 8th grade. After the eighth grade she worked for other families baby-sitting and other odd jobs. Edna went to work for Fern and Archie Joy taking care of their children, there she met her future husband Harold "Stub" Joy. They were married about a year later. They honeymooned in the Black Hills with a new car Stub purchased for $600. Together they worked long hours at their service station and lived in an apartment at the back of the garage. Their first child, Sharon Kay was born in 1944. When Sharon was 18 months old they moved into the house where Edna would live for the next 63 years. In 1948 a son Larry Dale joined the family. As a family they enjoyed vacationing in the Black Hills, fishing and checking cows together. Their home was a second home to many. Edna moved to the Silver Leaf Assisted Living in Philip in 2009. In 2012 she moved to the Nursing Home in Philip in both places she was lovingly cared for by their outstanding staff. Edna was always very active in her community. She was in several clubs and a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church where she was a Sunday School teacher, Mission Band leader and a member of Ruth Circle. She enjoyed walking, sewing and had made many quilts for her family, and baking rolls and cookies which she shared with many friends and family over the years. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with family. Grateful for having shared her life include her daughter Sharon Hemmingson and her husband Dave of Philip; her son Larry Joy and his wife Barb of Pierre; five grandchildren Tammie (Marty) Quinn, Todd (Sharon) Hemmingson, Tonya (John) Kramer, Jaremy (April) Joy, and Josh (Amy) Joy; eight great-grandchildren Tyler and Kaitlyn Hemmingson, Tanner and Brianna Quinn, Coy, Corbin and Colden Kramer and Owen Joy; three sisters Vera Portanova and her husband "Port" of Camarillo, California, Esther Downen and her husband Maynard of Fairburn, and Irene Willoughby and her husband "Red" of Midland; a brother Melvin Eckert and his wife Gail of Rapid City; and a host of other relatives and friends.
