I can't even begin to think about the impact this woman has had on my life. She shared so many thoughts and dreams, and memories of the good old days with me . I feel very blessed to have met her and worked beside her. She was the epitome of style, and fashion (of course) . I can't look at a woman anywhere(that has her shirt collar standing up) without smiling inside ...knowing how Joyce always made sure her collar was " just right" before a picture was taken or attending a special event. I learned alot of Palmerton History from her and Hagy.I could type here for hours, celebrating the warm loving thoughts I feel for this beautiful person. I will miss her very very much.

Tippy and I were saddene to learn about Joyce. Even thought we have been out of touch with the Hagenbachs in recent years, we still have fond memories of all the good times we had together. Our friendship goes back a long, long way, even to the old fill-er-up oil change days. Joyce was always part of the Palmerton commjunity, a great lady and will be missed by all.
Butch, we offer you and your family our sincere thoughts and condolences.
