Joyce was a sweet and eloquent lady. Her warm smile and presence will be greatly missed in the community. She made my late husband, Travis, and I feel welcomed in her home and visited on several occasion working on genealogy. We shared family information and helped add to the family tree. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Margaret. Jim and family.
I met Joyce In November 1978 when applying for a job with Wheat First Securites. She became my boss in 1979 and always looked after "her girls" She became a good friend and we enjoyed many lunches and dinners together with two other friends. She was a special lady and I will miss her.
Her devotation to family, church, all the activites she was involved in and her friends will suffer a hugh loss. Our loss is heavens gain. She is with Frank and her family and I know they were there to welcome her home.She is safe in the arms of Jesus. It was a privilage to have known her and I give thanks to God that HE allowed me the opportunity to be a part of her life.
I love you Joyce.
Norma
