Joy Caccavale

January 10, 1955 — July 7, 2025

Fairview

Joy Caccavale passed away peacefully on July 7th, 2025, following a brief illness. She was surrounded by her loving friends and beloved dog, Caleb. Joy was born in New York and grew up in New Jersey before relocating to Asheville, North Carolina more than 30 years ago. She fell in love with the scenic beauty of the area, and the warm, welcoming community.

Prior to her retirement, Joy worked in various positions for the Buncombe County Schools, including Special Education, which was her passion. Even after retiring, Joy would contribute as a substitute teacher when needed, continuing her dedication to the students.

Joy loved cooking and worked to perfect recipes from both her Italian and Jewish heritage. She would share these wonderful dishes and desserts with family and friends during holidays or special dinners. But her greatest passion was her faith: Joy believed Christ was with her in every step of her life. Those who loved and cared for Joy should find comfort in knowing that she is now in His loving care.

Joy is predeceased by her father, Joseph, and mother, Goldi (Gerzoff). She is survived by a community of loving cousins, friends, and her adored pets, Caleb and Osheah. A burial service will be held for Joy on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, at Sky View Memorial Park in Asheville, NC. Details will be forthcoming.
