Joyce was born to Homer and Ida Strong on June 20, 1944 in Malvern, AR. She married the love of her life, Mike Sibley on April 11, 1971 and raised five wonderful daughters. She was gentle and proper; always a “Southern Belle”. She had a natural eye for décor and enjoyed sewing. She loved to travel with her husband and spending time with her girls, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. To know Joyce was to love her. You could always expect an “I declare!” or “Well darlin” in just about every conversation and she always had room for dessert.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Ben and Steve; her sisters, Faye and JoAnne; husband, Mike Sibley; son, James Reynolds, Jr.; grandson, Brandon Webb; and a great granddaughter, Madilen Dickey.

Joyce is survived by her sister, Jayne Keisler (Doug); her daughters, Deb (Tom) Poore, Angie (Mark) Webb, Leah Cochran, Sandy Turner, and Melissa Reynolds; 15 grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren and her beloved friend, Barb Fortenberry.

Pallbearers will be Brian Feeback, Justin Webb, Jimmy Reynolds, Jared Berry, Mike Webb and Jeremy French.
