Joyce was preceded in death by loving husband Nelson Gauthier; granddaughter Deidre Gill; and son-in-law Danny Gill, Sr. She is survived by daughter Debra Gill; grandson Danny Gill, Jr.; and great-granddaughter Kaylee Hesse.
Joyce loved to garden and care for her immaculate yard, to cook absolutely delicious meals for her family, and to sew, creating her own clothes, and was an active parishioner; she will be missed by many.
On behalf of the staff of Lake Lawn Metairie, we express our sincere condolences to the family.
