Joyce Smith

Joyce was an outstanding person, who was loving, gracious, and generous, but also my sister-in-law. Joyce's accomplishments were many and her family was exceptional. Our marriages bonded us. As our families grew the bonding continued, aided by the yearly vacation at Table Rock lake which husband Bert had first instigated. Multi generations of our families still gather at the lake.
I will miss playing golf with Joyce and her lower scores and I will mourn her passing, but I realize God,...

With Love and Prayers for my Treasured Friend Forever, Gwen Sevart

Joyce and I have had such common interests. We are both nuts about golf and bridge among other things. You might say Joyce had strong political feelings and fortunately even there I was in agreement. I always looked forward to the times we could spend together at our Table

I knew Joyce briefly through church affiliations many years ago, and remember her vibrant, beautiful spirit. She is a person that you just don't forget! May her family be comforted by the " God of all comfort."

You already know that Joyce was remarkable. She made so many difficult tasks seem easy. We had fun golfing, or trying to golf, with the BWGL ladies. She will be missed. Linda Kraus

I always respected Aunt Joyce's integrity. This could be seen in how she approached golf. She played by the rules and expected those she played with to do the same. I'll also always be a fan of WSU, especially baseball, because of her. I always appreciated the news articles about the Shockers she would send me and the updates I would get about the program when I saw her.

We will miss Aunt Joyce and were blessed to be part of her family. Love and sympathy to Kevin and Erin's family.

Dear Erin and Kevin - We are so sorry for your tremendous loss. Joyce was a dear friend and we shall miss her. She fought a long, tough battle to stay around and play golf one more time! Both of your parents were great people who helped so many achieve their dreams in various ways. Love to both of you! Shirley and Don
