Joyce was well known for her love of sewing, she continued to sew up until recently, when an illness prevented her from getting to her sewing machine. Joyce was also a wonderful cook and baker. Desserts were her favorite to make and she was always trying new recipes. While Joyce was living at Park Vista in Waupaca, WI the employees and residents often smelled the aroma of her baking in the hall. Soon she would appear and start passing out her homemade treats.
