I feel so blessed to have gotten to know and be friends with Joyce while working at West Grand Towers. I knew right off the bat, that she was a special lady or as I liked to tell her "Joyce, you are a light". Rest in peace dear Joyce. You made a difference in this world. I am sure that when you got to heaven, Jesus said to you "Well done, good and faithful servant.
Love you always.

If I'm not mistaken, this Joyce Hutchinson was the same Joyce Hutchinson who provided level-headed leadership to me and my family when my mother passed away in 1981. It was through Ms. Hutchinson that I learned about organizations such as Hospice and about end-of-life arrangements. I am grateful for her pioneering work-and her leadership to our family and to many others.

Our hearts and minds go out to Joyce's family, for her spirituality, her mindful inclusiveness and compassion with which she invested in life.Her inner light and beauty, so visible to those fortunate to have experienced her caring touch, lives on.

I think we can all agree this world would be a better place if there were more people like Joyce.
She will live on in the many lives she touched.

I had the honor of being the the first hospice class and having the Joyce and Sister Joyce as such inspirational leaders. They imparted such empathy and wisdom. Went on to spend many years as a hospice volunteer and always felt very blessed to have been part of such a wonderful service. Joyce planted that seed and I can still see her smiling face and hear her calming words of wisdom.
