To Joyce's family,
My husband and I returned from visiting our family out of state and went to the dollar store to share traveling experiences with Joyce. We were shocked to hear that she was gone. She had a gift of making you feel like you were her favorite customer. She could laughingly talk me into buying anything. My husband and I will miss her so much.
I'm so sorry for all of you.....what a loss! Remember, she always bragged and beamed when speaking of her "clan." You will all be in our prayers, Linda and Bob Pfannenschmidt

I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was my boss in Hallstead and she talked of her family and of all her boys quite often. She was a great person and I thought the world of her. May God bless you and all of the family of such a great person. It was a pleasure to know her even if it was for a short time. My sincere condolenses.

Joyce was my supervisor on 2 occaisions. She was the greatest boss. Although, in her eyes we were not boss & employee. We were a team. I truly valued her friendship & trust. She made it a more satisfying place to work.
