Joyce was known for her ability to choose the perfect card for all occasions and then make it better by adding her personal touch to make it even more special.
Over the years, she enjoyed camping with her family and friends, playing cards with her card clubs, which were Couple's Club, Jokerettes and Elite. She was a member of the Beechwood United Methodist Church.
