Joyce was known for her kindness, her compassion, her candidness, and her strength. She was a friend and a confidant to many, but she was also a mother. She took on the role in her early years while helping to raise a family with 12 children, but that role never left her. She went out of her way to ensure that others were taken care of and she got joy out of seeing them happy. Joyce left a meaningful influence on so many lives, it gives comfort to know that her spirit will live on in those who knew her.
Joyce is survived by two children, her daughter Kimberly (William) Tarbell and her son Christopher Burkinshaw. She is also survived by her sisters and brothers, Susan, Kathy, Jane, William, Colleen, Ellen, Lisa, and David.
Family members would like to invite friends and loved ones to a memorial ceremony to celebrate her life and impact on the community. It will be held on Thursday, June 13th at The Mayernick Center at Avonworth Community Park from 1:00-8:00.
