I worked with Joyce at Martin Tractor Company for many, many years. She was so much fun to be around. She always had a smile and a laugh, especially when she was "ordering" the construction guys around. They all loved Joyce too. She took her job very seriously, but had alot of fun at the same time. What a great person.
