During his tenure at the school, Mr. Healy held various roles in addition to teaching, including establishing the college's study abroad program and serving as associate academic dean and associate dean of undergraduate studies.
At his death, Mr. Healy, who had continued working until this month, was associate director of the office of international studies.
"He founded and developed Loyola's study abroad program with six students 30 years ago," Mrs. Smoot said. "Today, the program sends 550 junior-year students annually to 30 different programs, exchanges and affiliations in 23 countries."
"Throughout his career at Loyola, Joe continued exploring new ways to better serve our students in Baltimore and on almost every continent," said Andre Colombat, dean of international programs, in a statement.
"He always made sure we provided our students with top-quality education, included more service opportunities, sent students to less-traveled destinations and maintained the quality of our programs abroad."
Mr. Colombat said Mr. Healy was a "knowledgeable, humorous and captivating speaker," which, combined with a warm and outgoing personality, resulted in an extensive network of "business partners, supporters and friends for Loyola around the world."
The longtime Guilford Avenue resident liked sharing meals with family and friends and discussing the merits of certain wines and beers. He also enjoyed reading, writing and discussing religion and spirituality, family members said.
Mr. Healy, a world traveler, also liked introducing newcomers to the interesting places in his adopted Baltimore.
"He could also lose himself for hours in nearby museums," Mrs. Smoot said.
A Memorial Mass was offered Tuesday at Loyola's Alumni Memorial Chapel.
Also surviving are his wife of 37 years; a son, Steven Healy of Princeton, N.J.; another daughter, Candra Healy of Baltimore; and four grandchildren.
