E. Joyce Damery

I have such wonderful memories of Joyce. She was a wonderful person and truly loved her family. She was very much loved by her Damery family and will be missed. With me being the baby of the family, she has been a part of our family longer than me. We always laughed and had fun with that. She was great sister-in-law, daughter, mother and friend. We all know she is in a better place and that makes it easier.

Joyce was a classmate of mine during our grade&high school years. Also a good friend. I am sadden by her death. I am sure she is in heaven and at peace. My sympathy to the family. Mary Ann Smith Tuscola, Il.

Joyce started out as a professor -- and ended up a friend. She was an inspiration and knew how to push people to do their very best. I am saddened by her passing and wish I had been in town for her services. My sympathies to her family.

Joyce was a classmate of mine at Arcola. I have fond memories of her and was always impressed with her kindness and respect for others. We are planning our 50th reunion next year and we are all saddened that she will not be with us. May God bless each member of her family and may you find peace that she is with her Heavenly Father. This is a sad day for me, personally. God Bless.

How I admired Joyce!! It is no coincidence that my last words spoken to her were You look so beautiful! That was Easter Sunday at the church. And she was beautiful, inside and out! I first met Joyce at TC3 as my instructor and the first day of class she told us if we paid attention and did the work, she would give us a kiss. We all looked up at her and she held up a bag of Hershey's Candy Kisses!!!! She was a pure joy to know, and so full of life that I can't believe she has left us. my...

She understood that life is about loving God and loving people. Joyce was taken suddenly but not tragically because we know where you are! I smile when I think of Joyce hearing those words, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

I was so very sad to hear of Joyce's recent passing. Between Angela's DHS music events so many years ago, working at TC3 with Joyce just before she retired, and then occasionally running into her around town, I always enjoyed chatting with her. She was such a warm and caring person who will be greatly missed by many. My deepest sympathies to her family at this very difficult time.

She was a great friend. And a wonderful cook- will miss her famous
soups! I will miss serving the LORD
with her.
Love,

Oh how I will miss Joyce! She was an
active member of our church, and a
lovely lady. I will miss her so much.
She added so much to our Ladies
Bible Study Group and to our Vacation Bible Schools and other things. She was a wonderful addition
to our church family. The good news
is that if we know Jesus Christ as our
personal Saviour we will see her again. She is with her Lord and Saviour who she served with faithfulness. I will miss you Joyce .....till we meet again!...
