Joyce was my boss, but she was also a co-worker, friend, and advisor, who treated me (and everyone else) like family. She was the warmest, most sincere, most gracious, and friendliest, down to earth person I've ever known. I miss her more than words can say. Thank you Joyce.

I am so saddened to hear this news. She touched my life with her humor and compassion and her smile would light up a room. Her life was certainly a ray of sunshine in this world. Rest well, my friend, you will be missed. Condolences to all her family members, and special hello to Jane McGovern.

I liked her immediately and appreciated her intelligence and kind ways increasingly as I worked with her. She left a lasting impression on me.

Upon her retirement -- Such an angel

I, along with many hundreds of other people, was able to attend the absolutely beautiful and incredibly moving memorial service for Joyce. There were moments of laughter, and many of tears. I'd only known Joyce for the last several years. But her best friends from childhood, her husband, her sisters, her nieces and nephews all told stories that touched me. There were people from all walks of life and from the many circles she traveled in. Her beauty and warmth touched so many lives. Joyce is part of us now and forever as we try to carry on her legacy of caring and compassion. Thank you Joyce.

I am saddened by the passing of M. Joyce Butler. My encounter with M. Joyce Butler was brief yet has stayed with me to this day. I was working briefly on a project in which I crossed paths with M. Butler. Miss Butler commented on my efforts. I do not recall verbatim her exact words and such is the magnitude of the impact it made on me. She was gracious. What I do remember is that what she said made me feel good about myself, and, so, she made me feel good about myself. As one who knew little of M. Butler and, yet, was so affected by her kind words and, in effect, her kind nature, I can only imagine the loss to her family and friends. My condolence to Miss Butler's family and friends.
Miss Butler, May You Rest In Peace.

I simply can not express the profound affect Joyce had on my life and continuing efforts to be a work in progress. Psychotherapist extraordinaire, my saving grace. She can never be replaced in my heart and mind. And thank you Joyce, for loving my dogs, and welcoming them (one at a time), into my therapy sessions.

I am so sorry for your loss. Joyce played such a big role in my life for many years. Her contagious smile and sense of humor were welcomed all the time, as were her hugs. Her compassion for others did not go unnoticed. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Joyce was such a beautiful person, inside and out. A kindness just glowed from her and she has touched more lives than anyone of us could ever know. The world mourns her loss and my sympathies to her loved ones who knew her better than I.
