Dear Kelly and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. I was away on vacation and so could not attend her service.
I have many great memories of Joyce and the fun times we both experienced while working together. She loved her family dearly and spoke of you all often.
Sincerely,
Cassie Ostrowski

I can´t believe Joyce is gone. I worked with Joyce at Highmark. She was so lovely and kind. Always had a kind word to say and was surely looking to retiring. Rest in Heaven Joyce.

My heart sank.
Joyce was 15-16 when she and a friend or two would come to our building in Washingtonville Ohio and peek in the window as my band practiced.
What started as an annoyance developed into a lifelong friend.
Fifty years.
Rest easy beautiful soul.

I´m so sorry to hear of Joyce´s passing. We worked together at Davis and Warde back in the `80s. We had many laughs together and shared many dinners together in Bloomfield. My sympathies to Kelly and family.

When my family moved to Pittsburgh in 2018, we decided to try a church and we found St. Andrew. Joyce was the first person to greet me and welcome me to that community. I will never forget her warmth, her kindness, and her genuine care. She has become a good friend over the years. I´ll never forget our chats, her quirky humor, and her compassion. Rest easy, friend.

I worked with Joyce at Gateway Health Plan. She was always kind and funny, and always had a story to tell about her wife and children.
