Joyce was my first friend when I moved to Woonsocket 74 years ago, & she lived with her family next door to my family. We used to walk to school together. We caught up later again when we both went to URI to become teachers. I last saw her about 10 years ago in a doctor’s office waiting room. We caught up on what was happening in our lives.. My sympathy to her family.

Joyce was a colleague and friend of my mother, Mary Dolan. They taught together at Harris School in Woonsocket and Joyce remained a friend to my mom after retirement. I know my mother thought she was a special person and she enjoyed their friendship immensely. My son was also the beneficiary of your mother's great teaching and care and attention to her students. She was his 2nd grade teacher at Harris School in the 1980s and she saw his energy and potential and embraced that in positive way to give him a wonderful school experience. He remembers her to this day as one of his favorite teachers.

Deepest sympathy to Joyce's family . I knew Joyce through school and serving on an education related club years ago. I have fond memories of doing arts and crafts projects at her home in Cumberland and visiting her when she was at St. Antoine and I was visiting my mother there also.
