Robbie Flynn Joy 94, passed to her heavenly home on January 30, 2024. Robbie resided in Wilmore, KY and was preceded in death by her husband Donald Marvin Joy. Robbie taught elementary school for most of her entire life and retired from teaching in Warsaw, IN only then to teach enough years in Jessamine County to retire for the second time.

Robbie co-authored a book Two Become One with her husband Don, and earned two Masters Degrees in education. Her life was dedicated to God, education, and the family. It was the norm for Robbie and Don to semi-adopt so many others in to their extended family, including former Asbury Seminary students and many of the area youth that attended the Free Methodist Church in Warsaw, IN where they taught high school age Sunday school classes.
