Joy Lynn Newman's Obituary
Services for Joy Lynn Newman will be held on Friday, May 30, at 12:00 pm in the chapel of Rader Funeral Home. There will be a visitation held from 6~8 pm on Thursday.
Joy was born in Marshall on Feb 21, 1953 to John and Pauline Newman. She worked as a beautician where it was rare to see her not cutting someone’s hair in her high heels, and she loved every second of it. Joy also loved her puppy, Lyla, cherished every second with her grandchildren, and enjoyed spending time in her garden making the flowers grow.
Joy was preceded in death by her loving father, John Henry Newman; and her sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Michael Stark.
Those left to cherish Joy’s memory include her mother, Pauline Newman; daughter, Christy Lynn Gideon Blalock and her husband Cody; sons, Jeremy and Samuel Gideon; grandchildren, Jaden and Baylee Blalock and John and Paul Gideon; brothers, David Newman and wife Nancy and Jimmy Newman; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
