For the last two years her handiwork won both blue and red ribbons at the Humboldt County Fair. In her younger years, Joy spent many hours as a Girl Scout leader, Boy Scout den mother, and a hospital volunteer. When her son Skip; played sports she was the loud lady yelling in the stands. Another favorite pastime was watching stock car racing at Redwood Acres in a box seat shared with Mary Luzzi. At the track, many fans wore her crocheted and aluminum beer can hats. Mom liked camping on the family property at Ruth, California. Joy was also a life long member of the Pine Hill Baptist Church in Eureka. She helped with the original construction at its current site. Mom attended church every Sunday until becoming wheelchair bound and unable to drive thirteen years ago. Through the mail she continued her bible studies daily. She remained involved with her church at home being the person to start the prayer chain. Joy was introduced in 1986 to Richard E. McCombs by family friend Joyce Hooper.
