Joy Lorraine Johns

Joy Lorraine Johns of Orlando, Florida passed away on Friday, October 16, 2026, at the age of 83. She was born on July 15, 1943, in Ishpeming, Michigan. She grew up in Upper Michigan, spending her school years in Negaunee, Michigan. Her adult years were spent moving from place to place as a military wife and spending time in Florida, Michigan, Massachusetts, Spain, and her retirement years back to Upper Michigan, with her final retirement spot in Orlando, Florida.

She graduated from Negaunee High School in 1961.

She was a homemaker for most of her life but also had jobs outside the home. She worked for Michigan Bell, Marquette General Hospital, K-Mart as well as many odd other jobs. Her biggest job in life was raising her kids and taking care of her family.

She was actively involved in her church, bowling, playing cards, crafts, golfing and spending time with her kids and especially her grandkids whom she loved very much. One of the biggest joys in her life was taking cruises. She loved to go on cruises with her husband and her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, David Raymond Johns; parents, Vi and Roy Siik; brother, Bill Jutila (Elsie), and mother-in-law, Lorraine Verme.

She is survived by her kids, Vickie Flinchum (Mike), David Johns (April), and Kerri White (Steve); granddaughters, Amy Herbert (Ben), Raeanna Irvine (Christopher), and Jamie White; one great granddaughter, Magnolia and one great grandson on the way; brothers, Ray Jutila (Barb), Robert Siik (Julia) and sister, Julie Mauermann (Ed), as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins whom she held close to her heart.

The family would like to thank AdventHealth, Orlando for the care and compassion they showed our loved one in their final days.

At the wishes of Joy, there will be a small Celebration of Life when the time comes to bury her next to her beloved husband in Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Florida.
