Devotion first to her family, she also worked part-time at Madison Elementary in administration for approximately 20 years.

In addition to her passion for literature and education, Joyce loved all animals. She not only cared for countless animals at home, but many creatures that made their way to her neighborhood. Joyce was a phenomenal cook, from traditional Hungarian dishes passed to her by her mother to her own creations, cooking was a vehicle to share her love with others.
