peacefully on Tuesday, Oct. 12, 2021.
Services will be held Sunday, October 17, 2021 at Leak Memory Chapel in Montgomery with visitation starting at 1:00 pm, followed by the funeral service at 2:00 pm then graveside at Tri-Community Cemetery in Millbrook, Ala. A loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother - Joyce was
affectionately known as ‘Nana’ by those closest to her. She is survived by her son David Brackin
Cobb, grandson Samuel David Cobb (Joanie) and great grandchildren Samuel Brackin Cobb III,
Maddox Elizabeth Cobb and Tyson James Cobb. Joyce was predeceased by her father D.M. Brown, her mother Lula Day Brown, her husband, James Perry Cobb, her son Douglas Perry Cobb, her daughter-in-laws Judy McBryde Cobb, and Teresa Sides Cobb and her grandson Austin Perry Cobb.
Joyce graduated from The University of Alabama where she was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha
sorority and remained an avid Crimson Tide supporter. Joyce later retired after a long career
with the state of Alabama, serving in the Education Department. Always active, she enjoyed a
meaningful social life with many memberships and affiliations including Garden Club, Altrusa,
Bridge Club and was a faithful long-time member of Whitfield Memorial United Methodist
Church. As matriarch of the Cobb family, Joyce was happiest when spending time with her family, whom
she cherished deeply. Joyce was also a loyal friend with a passion for entertaining and regularly
enjoyed trips to nearby Orange Beach, as much as she did cross-country jaunts and Alaskan
cruises. The Cobb family would like to extend a special thank you to the care staff at Answered Prayer
Home Health, Amedisys Hospice and Oak Grove Inn.
Pallbearers will be Samuel Brackin Cobb III, Andrew Duncan, Brady Crowe, Eric Fleming,
Joshua Snow and Charles Payne. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Whitfield Memorial United Methodist Church located at 2673 Fisk Road, Montgomery, Ala. 36111.
