(KSL News) Some Salt Lake City residents made sure an unsung hero in their neighborhood knows that she's made a difference in their lives.
We helped them surprise Joy Waldron with a High 5 this morning. The neighbors who turned out for the High 5 had e-mailed us saying Joy constantly is taking care of those who live around her. She brings people together in a spirit of love and caring.
They say she mows the lawn on a regular basis for others. She also rakes leaves, babysits and is the "guardian angel" of the neighborhood.
Carla Freebairn nominated Joy because she's always helping her neighbors.
"On the holidays she takes the flags and puts them out on both sides of the street. She calls the elderly in the neighborhood to make sure their needs are met. On Election Day she called to make sure they had a ride to vote. She takes care of everybody in the neighborhood, and we wanted to tell her we appreciate her and love her."
Joy said, "I just love everyone. I love the neighbors. I just love them, and I want to take care of them if I can, as much as I can," she said.
