Joy Noel Vaughn

Graveside services for Joy Noel Vaughn were held Oct. 18, 2024, at Old Crystal Springs Cemetery.  Brookhaven Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.

Joy Noel Vaughn, 55, of Vancleave, passed from this life on Oct. 12. She was born to William Carroll and Elizabeth Jenkins Carroll on April 20, 1969, in Ft. Riley, Kansas. She was the light in a lot of people’s lives. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. If an Angel could be a real-life person, she would be one.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Carroll; her sister, Jenette Borden; brother, Ronald Carroll; and uncle, Paul Carroll.

Survivors include her sons, Adam Vaughn (Saralyn), Eli Vaughn, and Wesley Carroll; grandchildren, Luna Vaughn, Travis Simmons, Ayden Simmons, and Eliza Vaughn (who is on the way); father, William Carroll; sisters, Marilena Simmons and Lisa Ribarin; uncle, Billy Brewer; and nieces, Danielle Borden, Dawn Borden, and Deanna Borden.

She went way too early.
