Joy was born on November 28, 1929 to Clury and Mary Hazel (Holley) Phillips in Clarendon, Texas. She graduated from Olton High School and on July 9, 1948 she married the love of her life, Milford Lambright at the First Baptist Church, Olton. They farmed in Olton from 1948 until 1964 and then moved to Pringle.

After retirement they moved to Lubbock and joined Calvary Baptist Church. Joy enjoyed sewing, making quilts, having a vegetable garden and working in her yard. Along with her parents, Joy was preceded in death by husband, Milford E. Lambright on June 17, 2015. Joy is survived by a son, Larry E. Lambright and wife Kathy; a daughter, Cheryl A.
