Joy Lou Hines
November 11, 1931 - December 20, 2019
Joy (Crom) Hines passed away peacefully on December 19, 2019 at Ohio Living – Swan Creek with her family by her side. Joy was born on November 11, 1931 to Orville and Mildred Crom in Toledo, Ohio. Later, she moved to McClure, Ohio where she met the love of her life, Galen Hines. Joy and Galen were married on February 5, 1950 and together raised four children. A long-time resident of South Toledo, Joy was an avid reader who also enjoyed playing the piano. But Joy’s greatest accomplishment was her role as devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Joy enjoyed hosting family and friends for holidays and summer gatherings. Additionally, Joy served as the bookkeeper for Galen’s business, Quality Concrete Construction, Inc. for over 30 years. In June 2014, at the age of 82, Joy realized a lifelong goal of joining the Catholic Church. True to her name, Joy was really a “Joy to the World”. Preceded in death by Galen and their son Thomas, Joy is survived by sons Timothy (Linda) Hines and Terence (Theresa) Hines, and daughter Tamara (BJ) Claus. Survived also by grandchildren Candice (JP) La Framboise, Lauren (Geoff) Box, Christopher Hines, Sarah Hines, Katherine Claus, Erin Claus, Emily Claus, Grace Hines, Rachel Hines, and great granddaughter, Madison Box.
