Joyce E. Alexander

Joyce was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Joyce was born October 23, 1934, in Plainwell, MI. She graduated from Bob Jones University in 1957 and received her master’s degree from Florida State University in 1960. Joyce was an energetic and loving teacher. From 1961-2001, she taught mathematics at Bob Jones Academy. She and her husband, Jerry were faithful church members of Hampton Park Baptist Church. She loved to sew and on her retirement from teaching took up quilting. Her goal in life was to serve her savior, Jesus Christ, in all that she did. Her goal was well met.

Joyce is survived by her daughter, Donna, two granddaughters, Robin, and Katie, and great-grandson, Willelm. She is also survived by a host of “adopted” children and grandchildren who also claimed her as Grandma.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry and her two sons, Timothy and Thomas, as well as her parents, Merrill, and Ruth (Minar) Sibbersen and her brother James Sibbersen
