overjoyed

Thrilled beyond measure

Overjoyed means extremely happy—joy taken to an intense degree.

The word typically describes reactions to specific good news or events rather than general contentment: She was overjoyed to learn she'd been accepted.

It suggests happiness so strong it's almost overwhelming.
