Joyce's granddaughter Breona wrote her a brief arrangement titled "Grandmother" I had a wonderful grandmother one who never really grew old. Her smile was made of sunshine, and heart was solid as gold. Her eyes bright as shiny stars, who's love is a rare and beautiful gift and shows it in so many ways in the pride she takes in her family and there's no one who shares it like you. God made a wonderful grandmother and he gave that grandmother to me…. Rest in paradise Love you Always -Breona. Funeral services will be held 2:00 PM Tuesday June 17, 2014 at the McColaugh Funeral Home 826 N. Detroit St. Xenia, Ohio 45385.
