Joyce was our neighbor for 40 years. Our children grew up visiting her and our grandchildren visited and helped her in her yard. She enjoyed baking and sharing her delicious creations. We saw Joyce care for many people over the years and she will be missed by many.
We sang songs of faith with her at our visits at the nursing home. We know Joyce is at peace now.💐

Joyce and I were friends and bingo buddies for many years and talked almost daily on the phone and went to lunch almost every week. She was like a second mother to me especially when she would scold me for eating too fast! In earlier years she would meet me and my grandchildren at McDonald’s ( she loved the sausage and hash browns) and they would call her Aunt Joyce! She was a generous loving and beautiful person who will be greatly missed!
