Joyce joined St. Christopher's parish in 1965. She married David Archibald on June 17, 1978. She was active in countless ministries such as Cursillo, Community of Hope, Daughters of the King, the Day School, ECW, EYC, Guild of the Christ Child, the Pastoral Care Team, Prayer Shawl Ministry and St. Agatha’s Needle-point Guild to name only a few. Joyce worked in the administration of SBISD for many years, and was active in her community through Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, MS 150, and the Spring Woods High School Booster Club. She will be remembered as a vibrant light and source of inspiration to the parish family, and her loss is keenly felt.
Joyce is survived by her husband, David, her children, Ted, Bob, Steve, and Karen; her 7 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; her sister Betty Green, a niece, Kellie and nephew, Chris.
A celebration of Joyce's life was held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 20, in the sanctuary of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, 1656 Blalock in Houston, Texas. After the service, all were invited to a reception in the Latham Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the St. Christopher's Episcopal Church Memorial Fund, in Joyce's memory.
