We were saddened to find out today that your Mom- PeeWee passed away We remember when we were neighbors in Glenwood Subdivision many years ago & PeeWee would sometimes carpool with James to Phillip Morris.
She was always so kind to us & everyone she met.
She will be missed & always will be in our hearts
With Love, James & Bobbie Hite

I know her as Pee Wee. We were neighbors until Buck and I moved away 20 years ago. She was a lovely, sweet and caring lady. Always smiling. God bless all her family.

I am so sorry for your loss. May God give Joyce peace with Him. Even though we knew one another mostly as children and our lives took us in different directions, we remembered one another when we reconnected a few years ago. Remember Joyce always as Mother, Grandmother, and Great-grandmother who loved you greatly.
