Joy Lorraine Glover

Joy L. Glover died at age 93 on October 24, 2010 at Midland Hospice House in Topeka. She was born Jan 13, 1917 in Chicago, IL and married Charles D. Glover Oct 11,1941 in Chicago. He preceded her in death on May 26, 1995.

She has 3 daughters, Nancy Kirk and Bonnie Robles of Topeka and Sally (Ian) Steyn of Larkspur, CO; 8 grand children, Dwight Steyn of South Africa, Matthew Wakefield of Stilwell, KS, Douglas Kirk of Manhattan, KS, Leonor Robles of Seattle, WA, Jessica vanGreunen of Fort Collins, CO, Tracy Tackett of Little Rock, AR, Angie Benortham and Jennifer Bagshaw of Topeka; and 14 great grandchildren.

Joy and her husband happily lived their married lives in North Aurora, IL then moved to Topeka in 1990 to be closer to family. Friends and family will remember her as a caring woman with a loving heart, forever patient and always willing to help those in need. Joy was full of life with a creative streak that allowed her to illustrate her imaginings and bring warmth to any place she went. She was admired for her great talent in painting, drawing, and sewing; her garden, like her, overflowed with color and life. She enjoyed traveling the world with her husband and always looked forward to time spent with family. Her sharp wit kept us on our toes and her true kindness and compassion endeared her to all. Joy Lorraine Glover made the world a better place by having been in it. She will be greatly missed.
