She was born on October 24, 1950, in Texas City, Texas, and raised in Dickinson.

In retirement, Joycelyn’s greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren, with sports coming in a close second. She loved cheering on her Dallas Cowboys and Houston Astros and enjoyed following everything from golf and tennis to the Tour de France.

Above all else, Joycelyn’s greatest joy was her family.
