Mrs. Joycie was a loving mother, grandmother, and sister. She was a very proud and dedicated Air Force military wife. It was during this time that she spent roughly 15 years at England Airpark working in several different Department of Defense positions. After retirement she and Mr. Herman frequently took bus tours all over the United States, for weeks at a time. Her love did not end with Mr. Herman; she took great pride in raising her family and keeping her home in order. She enjoyed baking, being a homemaker, and had a fondness for hummingbirds. Mrs. Joycie will forever be missed by those that loved and knew her.
