Mrs. Joy Ann (Haydon) Gossett, age 90, of Cave City, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday May 18, 2024. She was born on December 23, 1933, to the late Franklin and Ruby Haydon of Park City, Kentucky. Joy graduated from Park City High School. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a housewife and when she was younger, she enjoyed cooking, flower gardening and vegetable gardening. Listening to music was one of her favorite things to do. Gospel music was usually playing on the radio in the kitchen. In her later years she watched gospel music shows every Saturday and Sunday on TV. She was a great cook and made the best butterscotch pie, blackberry cobbler, and fried pies. Cooking for workhands on the farm kept her busy in the summertime. Helping others was something she was always willing to do, and many people came to her for a helping hand.
Little Bethel Baptist Church was her home church for many years where she played piano, taught VBS and Sunday School. Later she became a member of Barren County Baptist Church. As a devout Christian, she will be missed by her community.
