Our Dearest Joyce, you came into our family by marrying our Uncle Bob (Bachelor Bob) and put a stop to his constant travels for work. But you also brought your grace, warmth and humor, to complement Bobs, with you. Always a "joy" to be around, we will miss you and our best wishes to your friends and family. Say Hi to our parents and, of course, Uncle Bob. Bill & Sue (Menasco) Egelston.

Joyce was such a special lady. I first got to know her through girl scouts. We were both helpers and volunteered with the annual New Year's Eve sleepover with approximately 20 girls (no easy task)! I reconnected with her when she started attending the Church of Christ where she once again got involved. She was truly one in a million.
