Joyce was a secretary with the Food & Drug Administration, Department of Immigration, and the Department of the Interior; received 2 Bachelor’s Degrees; knew every bird, every flower, and tree.

She is dearly missed and will live in our hearts forever. The family will receive friends from 1pm to 2pm on Sunday, November 3, 2019 at Nelsen Funeral Home, 412 S. Washington Hwy.
