Her kindness and generosity will be missed by all. We have no doubt that she will be joining her son Joseph and grandson Christopher in Heaven.The family hopes you can join them on Friday, November 4th at 10:30am at Ascension Church 12033 Miller Avenue, Saratoga, CA. 95070, for a celebration of the amazing woman.

Joseph - I'm so sorry to hear about Miss Joyce's passing. She was a lovely human and such a delight to visit with. I always enjoyed seeing the both of you on our Company Getaways. She will be greatly missed.

I met Joe Nunez and Joyce over 20 years ago and they are both the most humble, kind, sincere, people I know or have ever known. Joyce was always happy and always interested in everybody she met. Joe was always talking about how he loved his wife so much They are both such a inspiration in my life. Privelidge to know both of them.
