Joyce Robbs Sloan

She was the daughter of the late Charles and Vera Robbs. She attended Temple Baptist Church.

Joyce was a loving mother and Nanny to her family, was an exceptional cook and loved nothing more than family get-togethers. She had an unending love of music and particularly loved listening to the Gaither’s with her husband every Sunday. Joyce never missed an athletic event or extracurricular activities of her children or grandchildren. One of her greatest joys was traveling the country with her husband and grandchildren.

Sloan Jr. (Melissa), Cloudland, Georgia; Kenny Sloan, East Ridge; Keith Sloan (Karen) East Ridge; and Terry Sloan (Diane) Ooltewah; five grandchildren, Nicholas, Ryan, Hayden (son of Renee’), Kyle and Rachel Sloan; three great-granddaughters, Sara Sloan, Sammie Sloan, and Kyla Sloan; step-granddaughter, Lynde (Russell) Thompson; three step-great-granddaughters, Masen, Rowan and Parker Thompson; and several nieces and nephews.
