Joyce Albaugh was a fellow student at South High. She sat next to me in English class and we were both in band. I can’t think of a more beautiful joyous person. I’m so sorry that she is gone.
Her smile will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Lesson: Don’t wait to catch up with friends from the past. Do it now!

I was shocked to hear of Joyce's passing. I believe Joyce was twelve the last time I saw her. I will always remember her laugh and very blonde hair. My prayers are with the family.

Joyce with her quick laugh and easy smile made the years fly by at South,her amazing wit and humor put everyone at ease. I take comfort that she is now at rest and peace.

Joyce and I attended South High school together. We were in the marching band, both playing clarinet. I have fond memories of those times. May God comfort the family as you mourn during this time.

Joyce lived across the street from us- Siebert St. She always seemed happy and so helpful to our friend, Herb. May she be the best angel- she was an angel on earth. Tina Tabor Blackburn
