Joyce was my dad's baby sister and she became an aunt at 14 when I was born. She was also a good friend. I will miss our phone calls and her advice and humor. Love you forever dear Joyce. Condolences to Timothy and family.

I worked with Joyce at Kroger, she was such a sweet lady. She loved her family and her BoBo. I am praying for her son Tim and his family during this difficult time.

Sis Joyce was such a precious woman of God with a sweet spirit.
She loved her son, grandchildren, dog - Bobo, church, church family and pastor so very much. Every time I was around her these were the ones she talked about the most.
She was always such a hard worker. I was always amazed at her energy to be able to continue to work as long as she did.
We love Sis Joyce and will forever miss her!
