I remember Joyce from Warner Grade School. Joanne Bagley informed me of her passing as we were often a "threesome" in those early years. So sorry I lost touch with her. She had a kind and gentle spirit. After reading about her I am twice as sorry I didn't reconnect as we had a lot of interests in common, especially the genealogy. Be comforted in knowing that she is getting all those lost ancestor questions answered now.
