Joy Canduci

Blessed with an outgoing nature, Joy was always fast to make new friends. From her younger days when she was the White Captain for Riverside’s Sports Night, to when she helped start the local chapter of the Red Hats, she was never one to hide in the shadows. Whether it was a fun-filled trip to her trailer at the shore or even a dull appointment at a doctor’s office, she made friends wherever she went. But, for Joy her favorite times were those with family. However, her clan was not divided by bloodlines; everyone was considered one of her own. This was never more apparent than at Thanksgiving Dinner. Every year she led the blessing, and never once made it through without shedding a tear. She loved those that were there and missed those who could not make it; either way they were always in her heart.rn Joy is survived by her husband Nunzio of Riverside and her children Douglas Thielman (Ginger) of Hainesport, Christian Thielman (Donna) of Kissimmee FL, Nadine Harvier (Joe) of Little Silver, Robert Canduci of Delran, Lisa Canduci (Albin Zebrowski) of Delran and Daniel Canduci (Kristy Cuva) of Palmyra.
