Her memory will be cherished by beloved daughter, Laura Joy Middlekauff; only grandson, Kenneth Skidmore; sister, Leigh Smith; and several cousins. She leaves behind many great friends.
She is reunited in the presence of our Heavenly Father with daughter, Lisa Ann Middlekauff, and mother and father, Joyous and Kenneth Chaney.
JoyAnn, a native of Kokomo and a longtime resident of Fishers, was a graduate of Kokomo High School. She received her bachelor's degree in education from Indiana University and then obtained her master's degree from Butler University. She was a lifelong teacher, educator and administrator with the IPS school system, and she truly loved her students.
She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma. The popular JoyAnn Bakery in Kokomo, which opened in the 1950s, was named after JoyAnn. To know her was to know a true friend and a genuinely kind and caring soul. She enjoyed reading and traveling.
She had a special place in her heart for animals, especially her rescue cats, Max, Ozzie and Starbucks. She treated them like kings, and they brought a lot of love and joy into her life.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Indiana Funeral Care and Crematory, Harry W. Moore Chapel, 8151 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis. Friends are invited to call from noon to 2 p.m. Friday.
