Condolences

I had the pleasure of working with Joyce for several years at the Activity Center. She had a great sense of humor & enjoyed having fun. She usually left you with a smile on your face. She will be missed. Prayers & thoughts go out to her family.
- Laura Smith
Aunt Joyce was always like a mom to me in so many ways. Especially when I was a child. She cared for me and loved me as if I were one of her own instead of her niece. Her smile could make any hard day better, and her hugs and sense of humor just made the world better! She was one of the funniest, most sarcastic, and quick witted woman I know. She thought me so many things during my lifetime that I will treasure forever.
