It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joy De La Cruz, who left this world far too soon on May 24, 2025.

Born on September 16, 2017, in Columbus, Ohio, Joy was the beloved daughter of Daniel P. De La Cruz and Rose M. De La Cruz.

Joy had a zest for life and a contagious smile that could light up any room. She enjoyed spending her days going to the park, soaking up the sunshine, and taking in the beauty of nature.

Joy poured her love and happiness into the lives of all who knew her. Her kindness and compassion will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Tragically, Joy's bright light was extinguished too soon due to a car accident. While we mourn her loss, we will always remember the joy and laughter she brought to our lives.

Rest in peace, dear Joy. You will forever be in our hearts.
