Joyce Dayringer was a mom, grandma, great grandma, 'little grandma', wife, friend and so much more. She leaves behind countless memories that will live on for generations to come. Joyce was an avid reader, passionate Braves and Dolphins fan, bowling aficionado, and lover of traveling the country in an RV. Her proudest moments were marrying her husband, Howard, and raising her children.
