Loy was born on August 20, 1983 in Albany to Mike and Donna Loosier.  She was the most beautiful person inside and out.  She radiated with love and brightness in her life.  Loy brought so much love and kindness into the world throughout her life, always caring, loving and sharing the Word of the Lord every day. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Albany.  Loy had the best bubbly personality and brightened everyone’s day through her smile and kindness.

Loy loved her children, Alyssa and Ansley more than anything in the world and prayed for her babies that she loved so much.  Knowing Loy was knowing the love, kindness and brightness she brought into the world.

She had just began taking up the game of Golf which when practicing, Jimmy had to retrieve the balls, LOL.  Loy cooked healthy meals that were absolutely delicious, especially her salads.

Last but certainly not least, one of Loy’s passions were was her love and kindness for stray animals, which she saved and helped so many including her cat “Lemmy Loo”.  Lemmy Loo and Loy were best friends and bonded and loved each other so much.
