Obituary of Joy Elinor Dill

Joy Elinor (Moeller) Dill, RN, passed quietly away on Thursday, December 20, 2018. She is now at rest with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, never again to suffer pain or stress.                             

Joy was born on August 4, 1931 in St. Louis, Missouri, the daughter and only child of Irwin and Marguerite (Campbell) Moeller. She attended the Jennings Schools, graduating with the class of 1949, then went on to study at Washington University School of Nursing, graduating with the class of 1952 as a Registered Nurse.

She practiced her profession zealously as a surgical nurse in operating rooms for more than forty years, most recently at St. Thomas Hospital. She was an accomplished seamstress and needle worker. In later years she developed computer skills and was proudly proclaimed as the “Gaming Grandma” by her three grandchildren.

On March 8, 1952 Joy was married to Robert (Bob) Dill, her high school steady. They were about to celebrate their sixty-seventh anniversary at the time of her passing. She is also survived by son, David and daughter, Margory Weekley, grandsons, Michael Stevens and Ethen Weekley, grand-daughter, Allysa Weekley and great-grandsons, Trenton and Harper, and great-grand-daughter Sophia Stevens.

Joy suffered the painful after effects of a 2001 shingles attack for nearly eighteen years and was house-bound for more than ten years prior to her passing. Her worldly remains have been cremated. The family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to the wonderful staff and volunteers at Cleveland Clinic Hospice for the tender loving care provided for Joy in her last hours.

There will be visitation Saturday, January 5 from 10 AM followed by a memorial service at 11 AM at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 2113 Ravenna Street, Hudson 44236.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory are suggested to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 2113 Ravenna Street, Hudson 44236-3451, or Cleveland Clinic Hospice, 6801 Brecksville Road, Independence, Ohio 44131.
