Joy Davies Cotton
1962 - 1997
This is in remembrance of a dear friend and classmate, Joy Davies Cotton. Joy was raised in a very loving and lively family, the youngest of six daughters. Joy was a naturally gifted honor student and a born leader. In high school, she was President of Anchor Club, and Editor of the yearbook, a member of National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll, and worked as a tutor and legal secretary. I was always amazed at how she seemed to so effortlessly make straight A's and somehow instantly knew all of the lyrics of a song before I ever even heard it!
Joy married Artie Cotton (EHS '79) and had two beautiful daughters, Aimee and Katie. After graduating from college, she owned her own publishing business. Joy was creative, kind and compassionate. She had a very intelligent sense of humor, astuteness, and human understanding. Her bright smile and positive outlook still have an influence on me today. I am grateful for that she was a part of my life. She would be all over this 30-year reunion planning! I wish she could have been here to enjoy it.
