Fannie Joyce Stringfellow

It’s been an entire year that you’ve left this earth. It still all feels surreal. I miss you, I miss our long conversations, I miss your guidance and care! You meant a lot to me. Antoinette

There are no words adequate enough to express our sympathy for the passing of your mother. Moms hold a special place in our heart so their absence is felt deeply. Although your mom isn't physically here with you, the bond you have will never be broken. As long as we remember our loved ones they will never truly be gone and we'll see them again. We will continue to pray for you and your family during this difficult time. May God continue to give you comfort and strength.

Blessings,

Sending prayers to everyone in the family. Ms. Joyce was an amazing woman with a calming, peaceful presence. She definitely had an impact on my life. Love you all.

Dear Sharon and Susan, your Mom will truly be missed. Joyce was kind, and well put together--from her hair that was done by you Sharon, clothes, nail polish and jewelry. Joyce had a beautiful smile and a comforting voice that made you feel like you were home. She loved and was devoted to her girls, her grandchildren, her family, and friends and was kind to a stranger. Such a loss, you never get over it but you learn to live with it by the Grace and Mercy of God.
May God give you an abundance of peace, comfort and joy as you think of her. May you remember the best days that you had with her that will make you laugh instead of cry and may you know that she will always be with you. I love you Joyce and will miss you.

Sharon, Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to you and the family.

A beautiful celebration of life for a remarkable woman. Sharon, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Peace and blessings,
S. Howard

My deepest prayer goes to you the family. I've had the honor and privilege to have been blessed with Ms. Joyce's presence. She had such a kind soul and kindred spirit. She was calmness.

Sharon,
My prayers are with you and your family at this time. Praying that the God of all comfort will help you find peace. I know - from my mom's passing in Dec 2019 - the pain of not having them right there with you physically. But they are with you. You will carry memories of her in your heart always and they continue to speak to us and guide us for the rest of our lives.
With love and friendship,
Valerie and Roger Howard

To you , Dear Sharon as well as your whole family. I am sending my most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you. May our Heavenly Father fill your hearts and minds with comfort and peace today and this day forward as you gather to celebrate the life of your beautiful mother. May you always feel her love surround you.

I still remember the day we met.. My walk through at work! You didn't sugar coat a thing and I absolutely adored you for that. You were a co-worker who became a friend and a friend who became family! We were almost inseparable. Many people told me you they didn't hear you laugh or talk as much at work until I got there You were and will always be a very special person to me. You fed me all the lobster biscuits and seafood salad I wanted while pregnant, lol! We were sisters family that God placed together. I will miss you deeply. I love you Joyce!!

My deepest condolences to the Ferguson and Stringfellow families for the loss of their loved one.

Joyce was a precious soul!! She was genuine, compassionate, caring, and a wonderful person. I had the opportunity to work with her for many years. What I know of her, she was a very sincere and hardworking individual. Before I retired in 2020 September, I asked her once, Joyce, are you not thinking of retiring anytime soon her reply to that was I will be bored if I retire. This makes my day go fast I truly believe, what she said she really meant it. She wanted to keep herself busy with working until her last breath.

You will be missed forever Joyce!!

I pray to God to give courage and strength to the families at this difficult time. Let the precious soul Rest In Peace!!

To Sharon and family I'm saddened that this has happened to your family but God doesn't make mistakes. I don't know what you are going through but I can always be someone you can call to just listen to whatever you have to say.

I enjoyed working with Joyce at the BOP. She had a great personality, was very helpful, and told stories that made us laugh. Sorry to see her go! My condolences to the family.

Susan,
Sending you and your family my deepest condolences. Reading all of the kind words that everyone has expressed about your mom describes all of your qualities as well. Take comfort in knowing that God will keep you and sustain you during this difficult time.

May you be comforted by fond memories of your loved one at this difficult time. Peace and Blessings to you.

Dear sweet Joyce, You will be missed so much. What a privilege it was for Chris and I to have known you. You're such a beautiful person, inside and out, your smile, beautiful smile, lit up the whole room. It was very obvious that you were a child of God. Your sweetness and love radiated from you. I'll never forget the time I picked you up at the train station, waiting for you couldn't find you, then you got off the train and I started screaming Mom Mom Mom of course everyone was looking around and I ran to you and hugged you, yes your little pale face blonde daughter, I think I may have embarrassed you but you smiled all the same. When Susan had her back surgery, you were there for her, taking care of her loving her like a wonderful mother would. I told you this once before, but I'll say it again, thank you for giving me Susan, she is one of the best friends neighbors confidants that anyone could ever have. I know she is this way because of you. I know she will miss you desperately I know your family will miss you desperately. I know that I will see you again one day in heaven and it will be such a joy to see your beautiful smiling face. I love you Joyce. Xox Debi

Sharon, your mom was a beautiful person and her smile would light up a room. She will be missed on this side of heaven but she is with Jesus, her Lord and Savior, enjoying life everlasting. I'm here if you need anything.

Sharon,

Ms. Joyce was definitely a "joy" to be around. Every time I saw her, she was smiling and ready to share a story. My heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family. Will keep you and yours in my prayers. May God be with you during this time of bereavement.

Sharon and Susan, I am sorry for the loss your mother. Please cherish the memories you had with her. Joyce was a lot of fun and she will be missed.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Julia Dillard (cousin)

To The Family of Joyce Stringfellow:
I came to really get to know Miss Joyce in the last couple of years. Miss Joyce was a wonderful woman of God. We always talked daily in the office and always made it our duty to speak when we were in the office. She was a blast to talk to. We could talk about anything. We always joked about how she loved to coordinate her outfits. Miss Joyce will truly be missed. Please know that I was blessed by her spirit. My condolences to the family of Miss Joyce. Heaven has truly gained a Great Angel. My prayers are with you and may his peace be with the family.

Sharon.

So sorry for your loss. May the almighty comfort you with his grace and strength during this difficult time.

To my sister-friend Sharon, thank you for sharing your mom's love and beautiful spirit with us through your many Facebook posts and photos of her. Your mother's grace shines through you Sharon. My heart-felt condolences to you and your family and may God's blessings comfort and heal you all while moving through this time of sadness. Rest peacefully Mother Stringfellow.

I decided to used a candle in memory of Joyce as she was the light for a lot of people (myself included) that needed words of encouragement, a prayer or just a smile. Joyce words can’t express how great a person you were. I’ll miss the pasta salad or any food you brought to functions as it was always delicious. You will truly be missed. Love always.

To The Family,

Joyce's bubbly, kind and pleasant spirit was gift from God to all of us with whom she came in contact. I pray God's comfort, strength, peace and love for you all today and in the days to come. God bless you all.

Joyce was a friend for many years, way back on
20th Street, NE

To the Stringfellow family,
My deepest condolences....Joyce displayed much elegance and pride in all she put her hands to. She will be missed by her Bureau family, Prayers to all that loved her, peace and blessings.

My dearest DC Family, My heart is so heavy and saddened by the untimely passing of such a beautiful, kind, lovely soul our beloved Joyce; my family and I are devasted. I have such fond memories of Joyce during my many summer visits to DC. One of my best memories was of her coming over before she went to work wearing a beautiful shade of yellow from head to toe - yellow pants, yellow top, yellow headband, yellow earrings, etc etc. and dancing. She was always a joy to be around.

May you find comfort during this difficult time knowing that you have the support and love of all those close to you. Praying you find some peace and solace to help you through. I'm here for you.
Love,
Teresa (Dillard) - cousin

To the Ferguson and Stringfellow families,
My deepest condolences to the loss of an amazing woman. I remember when we were working in COBO, she gave me an old children's bible that was used by her grandson, which I still treasure to this day. Another memory I have with her is that whenever she was tired, she would always go barefoot around the office. I've known her since we started in BOP in 2006 and she was always focused and hardworking. Rest in peace in God's kingdom.

My condolences to Sharon and family from Ms.Watson and family(Washington,DC)

My condolences to the family. Joyce and I met at church 17 years ago and we bonded instantly. She was like that big sister I never had. We had so much fun laughing and talking even if we were out of touch for a while. When my Dad passed, who was the first person walking through my door with my favorites...seafood salad and lemon cake. I definitely know that she's dancing all over Heaven now. Rest in Peace my friend. Never forgotten

To my family,

It's hard to put into words as Joyce was like my mother, mentor, and friend especially when we were at church. She had a heart of gold and took care of you no matter what was going on. She always had a smile on her face which made you smile. As difficult as this may be for me and family I'm looking at the big picture there's an angel on our side. Love you always. Rest in heaven where you belong.

To the Ferguson/Stringfellow families my sincere condolences and prayers to you all. I would be there if not for other engagements Joyce was always such a sweet lady to me. I was in DC in March of 2021 and we had a good time together that's a memory I'll always treasure praying for you all.
Praying for you all
Cousin Gwen
