I will cherish them and my memories of her ! The sweetest, kindest soul ! May she rest in peace ! Prayers for all of her family !
Joyce was such a special lady. Growing up, my mom and her attended the old red Nazarene church together and we all sat together in church, up until my mom’s passing in 2021. Joyce was a very genuine and kind. She will be missed and her crochet gifts will be cherished even more. Praying for you all

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you are in our prayers during this difficult time.
Teresa, Dave & Jeff,
I’m so sorry to see that your mother has passed. Joyce was always so kind and gracious to me. I worked along side of her in my first office job. She taught me so much about my job, the bigger picture and about life in general. She would just laugh at me and keep working. I will always remember the grace and patience she extended to me.
I hope you find comfort in those who remember with you.
Teresa,Dave and Jeff, prayers of comfort to you all as you grieve the passing of your mother. Joyce was a very special lady.
Becoming Joyce’s neighbor 18 years ago was the best thing we ever did! Sharing 100’s & 100’s of hours chatting out in our back yards about flowers & life in general was priceless! Same goes for our walks downtown, time spent shopping in the thrift store together & window shopping was so fun! To say she will be deeply missed is an understatement. She was an absolute blessing to us & to everyone who knew her. Her many home-made items she has given us over the years are wonderful treasures. It’s not good-bye from us Joyce, it’s “See you later.” May you rest in everlasting peace sweet friend, Jim & Cindy
