PALM COAST, Fla. — Joyce died suddenly July 5, 2008, at age 84, in Palm Coast.

Born on Sept. 6, 1923, in Newton, Mass., she was the owner and operator of the Red Barn Antiques in West Falmouth for more than 30 years. She also worked at Falmouth Hospital for many years.

She moved to Palm Coast in 1993. She loved her friends, neighbors and the community of Palm Coast.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank. She leaves a daughter, Bonnie (Ward), of Jacksonville; two sons, F. Dow (Martha) of Sandwich, Mass., and Peter (Frances) of Ocklawaha, Fla. She also leaves five grandchildren, Heather, Ian, Chris, Kate and Colleen.

Palm Coast services will be held at a later date. She will be buried in the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne next to her beloved Frank.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your local library, humane society or hospice organization in her name.

She was the best friend anyone could ever have. We will miss you so much.

Joyce Clark was my very dearest friend in Florida and I am so sorry I was not home at the time of her death. I shall miss her terribly when I do return for we often did things together. After my husband's death, she was my "rock" and for that I shall always love her.

Joyce will be missed. I didn't see her often but she was a friend and neighbor. She helped me through difficult times when my husband passed away.
