Joy Yarbrough, 70, of Eatonton passed away peacefully at her residence on July 15, 2022. She was born in Sandersville, Ga. and moved to Eatonton when she was a small child. Joy graduated from Putnam County High School in 1970 and attended nursing school thereafter, where she became a licensed practical nurse.
