Joyce Weathers Avery

I knew Joyce from her being a valued member of the Duke Hospital Auxiliary. Also I briefly met her when I was visiting my wonderful friend and her neighbor and friend, Frances Rogers. Joyce had so much energy and excitement, even when fighting her cancer. She enjoyed going to galas because of her association with the auxiliary. The last one was with the Duke Hospice/Home care gala a few months ago. She was so animated and had such a great time. I was always so impressed with everything she had done and continued to do even through her illness. When I last talked to, a few weeks ago, she was still so upbeat even though she said she had to start chem again. She was on amazing person and I'm so very lucky to have known her.
