I was saddened by the passing of Joyce. She was my supervisor in the 70's at Public Aid. She was a joy to work for and I will always have fond memories of her. My sympathy goes to all of her family.

Joyce was my supervisor in the 70's at Healthcare and Family Services. She was a fine person to work for, but more importantly, she was my friend. She became one of those rare lifelong friends that I have always treasured. Joyce was the example we all wanted to be like when it came to being a mom. She worshipped her boys. I have so many great memories that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. My sincere condolences to all of her family, who she truly loved and cherished. God bless each of you.

I first met Joyce during the sixties when we both worked for the State of Illinois, Dept of Public Aid. For several years she was my secretary.
Joyce was a great person who always did her work well. She was a friend to everyone in the office. I'll always remember her pleasant smile and how she brightened everyone's day.
Our consolation is in knowing that our loss is heaven's gain.
