Joyce was employed at Pine Meadows Rehabilitation Center for 22 years until her health failed. She loved to cook, play cards, go to bingo, and spend time with her family. Joyce had a heart of gold and never met a stranger.
She gained her wings on September 19, 2023. Joyce was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Lillie Bowden; and grandmother, Myrtle Jones. She leaves to cherish her memory two children.
