My heart goes out to the entire family. I have so many great memories of Joyce and the times we spent together. One that I will share is when I spray painted the trunk of a car while she watched and laughed hysterically. She was a caring lady that loved her family very much and will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
Thank you so much Deb for sharing your memories of Mom it made me smile. Connie Jo
Gayle and family- our hearts go out to you and we are praying for you. We are comforted by the thought of Joyce and Gary together with the rest of the family in Heaven and the huge celebration going on!!

For we’ve lost someone precious, and she’s with you up above, and she is someone that we needed, and she is someone that we love. We are feeling lost and alone,and though we do Believe, we need you, lord, to hold us up, and help us while we grieve. Please give us strength and courage,Lord, to bear what we must bear, and nudge us when our faith is weak, to remind us you are there. Give us hope for our tomorrow, tell us our life’s will still go on show us, lord, that all this darkness, will be followed by the dawn you’ve led us through so many things, You’ve pulled us through before with Cathy, Hold us up, Lord, til we are through this, and we are strong once more.
We lived across the street from Joyce and family. She and I were bbf from grade school to graduation even though we attended different schools. The two of us did nearly everything together from ushering at the local movie theater in Columbus, babysitting, running to the local café for cokes. We were at the swimming pool nearly every day in the summer time. So many memories….. we had so much fun together. I had not actually seen her for nearly 45 years but we exchanged
Christmas cards every year and I did talk to her on the phone about 5 years ago. So shocked to hear she was gone when I was in Columbus for Gary’s service. My deepest sympathy to all of her family.
So sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing I knew her when we were kids and we had so much fun at her parents house.She was always such a sweet girl,and I know she will be missed by all.
We are so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. Our hearts go out to the entire family, sending hugs and support to all.
To all of Joyce’s family So sad to hear of her passing. I knew her when we were in grade school and our parents were good friends Spent lots of time at her family home and we had lots of fun.May God bless you all and give you peace.
