Joyce will be very much missed by all but especially those, such as my family, who considered her one of our own. I really cannot remeber a birthday, holiday or any family occasion she was not a huge part of. All of us love her and will miss her. We are all thinking of Billy, Donna, Trip, Marsha, Liam and Scarlett and love you all very much! Beth, Randy, and family.

Billy and Donna,we will surely miss Joyce . I always enjoyed my visits with her,especially when she let me try out her electric chair that went to her basement. I couldn’t get the hang of it at first and she said for goodness sake Linda ,you can do this. She absolutely loved her family more than anything. She was so faithful to BSJ MISSION circle and she knew everything about the history of our church. We have loss one of our Senior Saints of Midway ,but Im so thankful she could join us for our luncheons we had . We were very blessed with her presence and will miss her being there so much. In Christian Love . Joe and Linda

So many wonderful memories of Joyce. Her influence in school and Church were many. She and Mom spent many hours the last few years on the phone catching up on neighborhood events. Mom sends her sincere condolences to Billy, Donna and family. She will be sorely missed by many.
