Joyce was a loving mother, wife, and the best Grandma/Maw Maw who shared her love for God with her family and countless others. Her faith and family were everything to her. Her favorite scripture was James 1:12, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised.” Her loving kindness and strong faith was shared and admired by family and friends as she felt led by God to teach Sunday school for 47 years.
