Joyce retired from Tri-County Community Action as a Secretary/Administrative Assistant. After retiring, she worked for H&R Block as a Secretary for many years.
Joyce enjoyed reading, flower gardening, but, most of all spending time with family and friends and the many trips taken to see the United States with her husband, brother Junior and his wife Dolores.
Joyce was known for baking her famous Christmas cookies every year. At times she baked over 2,000 cookies and gave the majority of them away to family and friends. Many have tried, but no one has come close to replicating her cookie perfection. Joyce was tiny in stature, but had a mighty personality!
