Joy was known for her heart of gold, showing unconditional love to everyone who crossed her path.

Joy truly invested her time and energy in those she loved, bringing a gentle strength and lasting peace to all who needed it. Joy spent years as a manager at Giovanni’s in Fairborn. She enjoyed drawing, painting, and dancing. She also loved the rain, mountains, trees, listening to music and spending time with her family.

She is preceded in death by her father, Donald W. Compton; sister, Carolyn S. Compton; as well as many uncles, aunts, extended family, and friends. She is survived by her husband, Mark Smith; mother, Susie Compton; brother, Richard (Tina) Compton; three children, Raegan (Katerina); Christy; Sarah; eight grandchildren, Brooklyn; Cole; Kalob; Cameron; Asher; Audrey; Alyssa; and Cambria; and many dear friends.
