Joyce was a social butterfly who was always open for a conversation with anyone she met; she would make quick friends wherever she went. She also opened her home to anyone who needed it, housing several people over the years. She loved music, especially oldies and country western and loved to dance and dress up with lots of bling. Most of all though, she found the greatest joy in her family. She cherished every holiday and family get together. When she could no longer get around, the family parties came to her. She will be dearly missed.
