Joyce was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She loved her family, and we loved her. She loved Jesus and raised her kids in the church to have that relationship with Jesus. She did her best to take care of everyone. Even a stranger and their pet turtle LOL! She did her best with everything that came her way. She is the strongest woman I know, full of life and in great health until her final months. We are blessed because she was OUR Mother.
