Joyce R. Greene

Joyce loved the arts and loved to travel. She followed her grandchildren closely and took real pride in their lives. She also loved hosting Thanksgiving for over 30 years, bringing family together far and wide for love, fun, laughs, and turkey - good times that will be remembered by all who joined the table.

Joyce was entrepreneurial, running her own art gallery and frame shop for over 15 years. Earlier in life, she worked as a speech therapist for the NYC Public School system after university.

Joyce was predeceased by her first husband Alan, but survived by her sister Edie Weinberg and husband Mike, brother Joseph Rosenthal and his wife Sheryl, sons, Sandy and wife Marie-France, Roger and his wife Beth, and David and his wife Jodi, grandchildren Sam, Ella, Jake, Ava, and Olivia, nephews, Dean, Adam, Jed, Lee & Reid, and step children Debra, Diane, and David.

She will be remembered for her warmth, her curiosity, and her love for her family.
