I did not know Joyce well, but after being introduced by my loving sister n law Kimalee, Kenny's wife, I soon realized that Joyce was a loving, friendly person that always greeted me with a sweet smile and a welcoming hello! May you be at peace at home with our loving God.

Joyce was always very welcoming and kind to me. She was always upbeat. I am so thankful that we, her brothers and wives, got together on Wednesday, 10/1, for an evening of reminiscing and laughter. She said that she loved the times like that. We were getting ready to leave, thinking we were tiring her, and she asked that we stay a while longer and keep sharing memories. She was loved very much and will be missed greatly. Rest in Peace, Joyce.

I am so glad I got to visit with Joyce last week. I was able to go over and trim her hair and make her feel better. Was a nice visit. I haven't been in the family for 19 years but she made me feel like family. She was a wonderful,giving and beautiful person who will be greatly missed.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the DeWitt family and to all of those who knew and loved Joyce. I'll always fondly remember the days we all spent together growing up on Shelby Parkway. She was a remarkable person and will be missed by many.
