Joyce was a co-worker and good friend to me. I worked at EIS for 9 years with her. She helped me pick out my wedding dress. I have so many fond memories. When EIS closed, she opened her home to all of us for reunions. She will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to her family.

I am very sorry for your loss Tom, Cheryl, Tommy, Allyson, Jack and Emily and Charlie. I will forever remember Joyce. I worked for her for over ten years at EIS Brake Parts and she was the best boss - she looked out for and fought for her employees more than she did for herself. I always enjoyed the morning chats before we started work. And loved to see her updates, postings and pictures. She will be missed very much. My thoughts and prayers for Joyce and her family. John C.
