She was the youngest of eight children and is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Gordon, Richard, Gene, Donald and Roy Foxworthy and her sister Martha Westervelt.

They lived in Houston from 1970 to the present except for five years in South Padre Island at the family beach house. Joby and Tom traveled extensively after retirement including 40 cruises. Joby was a woman of many talents, including bowling, gardening, singing in the choir and multitudes of volunteer jobs over the years, such as PTA, church work and reading for the blind.

Her best known hobby was crocheting. She crocheted small blankets for chemo patients and anyone needing comfort. She loved all animals, especially dogs that needed a home.
