My deepest condolences to the Soult Family. I’m deeply saddened by Joyce’s passing. She was such an amazing positive loving person ! She will always carry strong in my memories ! Joyce hired me at the bank, my first job out of high school Without experience giving me that first chance at a good job; her leadership based on kindness teamwork and positivity at the bank and no one else ever compared. We stayed in contact for 29 years even though we were on opposite ends of the continent. She messaged me at times and even said I love
you to me recently. “I love you Joyce, I’ll see you on the other side !!

I am so sad for the Soult family. Bob, she was your partner in crime for so many years. She was such a light. She so loved her sons and her grandchildren. I loved that we could keep in touch through Facebook. I am glad that she had her photo taken with the Boyer Mallo Cup things that I sent her. There was pure joy on her face, but then again, there always was. I am sorry I am not able to get to the viewing or service but please know that I am sending love and prayers. I am 100% certain of one thing, she definitely took the express way to Heaven. God was waiting for her and I know that the reunion that she had with family was epic. I will miss her so much. Yesterday on my walk I was thinking about her and I asked for a little sign that she was okay. It took a little while, but I saw a Cardinal, actually 2 so perhaps she and my Bob connected and they were just letting me know they were flying high with the angels. Pretty appropriate, I would say. All my love, Little Helen.

Joyce was like a second mom to me back in my teens and early 20s. Along with my late father, she was one of my biggest encouragers. I am a professional musician today, and after I played for the grand opening of Fort Knox's new Child Development Center (due to my late mother being one of the figureheads at the time) in the summer of 1989, Joyce did something that I'll never forget! She asked me to sign her copy of the program. I gave Joyce my first autograph! It may sound laughable and trivial, but it's a very significant thing for me! She believed in me, and I've always and still love her for that!

Joyce was a beautiful lady inside and out. I loved her dearly. MANY years ago, after I graduated high school, she had asked me to go with them to Kentucky for a little while, I’ve always regretted not making that trip. She was an angel here and definitely an angel for her family now. My parents named me after my Aunt Barb and Joyce, thankfully.
