So many will miss this lovely lady. Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear the news about Joyce. Her laughter still rings in my ears! What a JOY she was to be around. She will thrilled to be performing as 'Tinkerbell' when PETER PAN was produced in Olean...what GREAT fun we had performing together. I will always remember her with such happiness.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I hold you all in my heart. I will always remember Joyce's support when my mother died. Joyce I will do a cake for you!!

To the dear Gilroy family,

Deb and I were so very sorry to learn of Joyce's passing. We deeply share your sorrow and send heartfelt sympathy and condolences. Our memories of her and her wonderful family go back more than forty years to the early 1970s. Her friendliness and smiles, her great joy in music, and her steady and devoted service to others will remain vivid in our memories. Our sons Erik and Tom and their families join in sending condolences. With much love,
Rick and Deb...

I want to express my condolences to the family of Joyce Gilroy. We were great friends back in the late 1940's when we went to Cuba Lake. She was a lovely person and great fun to be with. May she rest in peace. Her accomplishments are amazing.

If we could only have measured the "heart" of this woman we would have really seen how remarkable she was. Haven't seen her in years but that is what I remember most. She was always accepting, inviting and warm. My thoughts go out to the family... We have lost a good one.

So sorry for your loss, Jon Gilroy. The House family sends their condolences.

I mainly knew Joyce from her time as organist at Bethany Lutheran and at the same time she was also playing at St. John's where my husband worshiped. Her personality was so outgoing and bubbly, and although I knew she was involved in some community activities, had no idea the scope of her outreach. She was one of a kind and I likely will never meet anyone who gave so much and touched so many. Rest in peace Joyce, even though rest was never part of your vocabulary. Terry and I will...
