Joan Joyce

I was scouted to play with the CT Falcons out of high school. I met Ms Joyce and was impressed beyond words. My life took a different direction but I will never forget how professional and gracious she was to me. 98 mph all the way to heaven

So sorry on her passing. Joan and I had many times together at Scovill in Watergury challenging her volleyball team at the SERA. She asked me to warm her up at a softball match and I never came close to hitting a ball. I did see Joan when the LPGA played at my country club in Dallas and was thrilled that she remembered me and could spend some time together. My condolences to the family. She was a special lady.

Great sports lady. Hellova curve ball! Sorry for her passing.

RIP Joan.

It was wonderful to know Joan. She shared her golf knowledge with me. A wonderful teacher and a real lady in every respect.

My condolences.

RIP Joan. You will be missed. I enjoyed so playing with and against you in Stratford in the 60's. You have now passed the beautiful rainbow and are with all the other great sports stars. You were the best.

Joan Joyce was, without a doubt, the greatest woman fastpitch softball player to play the game. One of my prized possessions is an 11x8 glossy of my catching a pitch with Joan at the plate during a 1972 pre-national tournament game in Stratford. The Portland softball community [Ern Lind Florists and Dave Lee Sports] are deeply saddened by her passing, but also honored to have competed against her. You will always be the BEST!
