Joyce Ann was a beautiful woman in all ways. She was a good friend and classmate as we studied with Kathy Oddenino. We took turns driving to classes and back.
Our long-ago friendship is a very cherished memory for me.
I send my my love and prayers for you, Steven and Patrick, and your families. She always let us know how proud she was of you.

I can still hear Joyce's voice, speaking so proudly of you both, Steven and Patrick. The years fly by and we lose touch, but we never forget people who have touched our hearts and made a difference in our lives. Your mother was one of these people. Hold the good memories close. Our hearts go out to you and to everyone who was touched by Joyce. With much love, Lynne and Greg

Phyllis Branchflower and I have been remembering our years
with Joyce Ann with fondness. So many wonderful luncheons, NCGR meetings, trips to the iridologist in Glen Burnie. She has
been an important part of our lives.

Dear Steven and Patrick,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you say good bye to your beloved mother.
Joyce Ann was so proud of you and you were always so good to her.
We had a lot of happy days here in Chesapeake Harbour until she moved out Odenton way..
Now she is part of many of our fondest memories.
Love and prayers,
