Joy L. Hann

Joy L. Hann, 54, of Bedford, passed through this world into the arms of past loved ones on Christmas day at UPMC Altoona Hospital due to complications of the dreaded COVID-19.  She was born on January 3, 1966, in Everett, a daughter of Cecil Hann of Bedford and the late Shirley (Wertz) Hann. She is survived by two brothers, Barry Wertz of Bedford, and Rodney Hann also of Bedford; a very special nephew Corey and wife Karey and their two sons, Deegan and Max Wertz, whom she loved very much, also her gracious aunt Alice Price, who was like a mother to her and a cousin Alice Jean and so many more. She was preceded in death by the love of her life Troy Mickel and they are together at last.  

Joy was a graduate of Bedford High School and worked as a cook at Pennknoll Village for the past three decades. Her family would like to thank the many nurses and doctors who have cared for her, especially cousin Jody Smith a nurse at UPMC Bedford who had been in constant contact with her giving her comfort and hope while at Bedford.  While we can never say thank you enough, we will miss and cherish the memories that she had left with us. Another Angel Got Her Wings!

A celebration of life will be held at a later date to ensure the health and safety of others. Arrangements by the Timothy A. Berkebile Funeral Home in Bedford.   Our online guest book is available at www.berkebilefuneralhome.com.
