She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Albert A. Burlando. Also

grandchildren, Nicole and Rashad Jones, Matthew and Brian Quagliana and Alexa
Joy and Jenna McMahon. She was also able to celebrate the birth of her first
great granddaughter, Emerson Joy. She also leaves behind numerous family and
friends.
Family was of the utmost importance to Joy and she always put them first. She
made everyone feel special. Joy was instrumental in helping her husband start
their own family business. Through her hard work and dedication to the
business, Joy was able to see and experience the world. Whether it was
zip-lining in Costa Rica or landing on a glacier in New Zealand, Joy always had
a blast.
She was always the life of the party and had the most interesting stories to
tell. She was truly larger than life. She will be missed by so many people.
A celebration of life will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, August 9, 2019 at the
