I worked with Joyce for many years at Biggs-Gilmore. She was always kind, sensitive and compassionate. She was not only my co-worker but a trusted friend and confidant.

I am a neighbor in the Lower Pines and remember meeting Joyce a number of times. She was a lovely lady who took such pride in herself and her home. With sincere sympathy.

I am sorry to hear of Joyce´s passing. She was a sweet sincere lady. I remember vividly of the great friendship she and my Dad enjoyed for many years. I know she will be missed by many!....
