Joyce was previously employed at AFNB (bank), the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, and Roberts Park Methodist Church. She was also an avid AVON products sales representative.
Joyce was actively involved in Faith Assembly of God Church in Beech Grove where she was the organist for many years. She and her husband, Bob, eventually became dedicated members of The Caring Place church where they poured their hearts into serving wherever they were needed—whether it was volunteering, or simply offering a warm smile and kind word to those who walked through the doors.
They ministered with Roe Farris and Ruth Winstead in Friends Fellowship assisting and providing music in the Indiana Women’s Prison. They also hosted a Christian Life Group in their home for many years. After Joyce retired they traveled and ministered through their music as “The Singing Silvers.”
