Joy Marie Tredway

Joy Marie Tredway was born June 5, 1959 in Odessa, Texas. Joy passed to heaven unexpectedly on August 16, 2022 in Longview, Texas.
She is preceded in death by her father, Loyd “Boose” Tredway; mother, Mattie Lee Parrish Tredway Barker; husband Bobby Knoten; husband James Stewart.

She is survived by her daughters, Amy Knoten of Gilmer, Texas and Amber Stewart and husband Jeff Schroeder of Pritchett, Texas; grandchildren Brennah Polhemus, Abigail Polhemus and Caden Schroeder.
She is also survived by her three siblings: Barry Tredway, Sr. and wife, Karon of Pottsboro, Texas; Linda Tredway Wright and husband, Larry of Huntsville, Texas; and Nick Tredway, Sr. and wife, Karen of Honey Grove, Texas.
Many nieces and nephews survive Joy: Barry Tredway, Jr., Shawn Tredway, Laura Nelsen, Shanna Hartsfield, Ashley Tredway, Nick Tredway, Jr., Rebecca Aviles, Benjamin Tredway, Hannah Tredway, Justin Perdue, Jodi Hobbs, Layne Whitfield, and an amazing number of great nieces and nephews, and many friends.
Joy & James opened J&J Auto Sales in Gilmer; and after James’ death, Joy ran the business with the help of family & friends until Covid. At that time she started studying for a Texas real estate license and she received it. She was a hard working woman, very independent and always on the move. She never slowed down.
She loved her family with all her heart. She loved the holiday and other celebratory meals spent with her daughters and their families. She loved time spent with her grandchildren.
She talked to her heavenly Father and trusted in His guidance, love, forgiveness, and wisdom. She told Him her troubles and asked for and expected an answer filled with love.
