To the Atkins Family: I was so sadden to learn of Joyce’s passing. We met each other while car pooling together many years ago while working at BlueCross/BlueShield. We would catch up with family news at Kohl’s. She was a dear friend and will be greatly missed. Heaven has truly gained an angel.

Joyce will be remembered as a friend, dedicated wife, mother and grandmother/great grandmother, Kohls worker, leader in grief share program, crafty and a lover of Jesus. She will be missed greatly. Pat remembering you in my prayers and thoughts. Praying Gods peace to fill your heart. Love you!

Joyce and Pat were our next door neighbors in Mechanicsville for years until we moved.  We have such fond memories of Joyce letting our dog Holly in their doggie door even after their dog Shadow had passed.  Joyce would say , “Holly is over here to get her Biscuit treat”.  We always knew where to find our Lab would be at Pat and Joyce’s house!  Very fond memories and the best neighbors — they watched our girls grow up and looked out for them.  Joyce will be missed and our condolences to Pat and the family.    God Bless, Love, Kim and Scott 

My beautiful sister-in law, my best friend.
How blessed I was to have you in my life, taking me in under your wing when I married into the family nearly 50 years ago.  Always  there for us, our family and friends.
I will miss calling you for recipes or how long to cook the pork chops.
We will miss all the evenings spent with you and Pat together laughing until we cried. I can't imagine life without you, but I am so thankful for the time we had together.
Rest in peace my sweet Joyce.



Joyce was such an amazing friend. We often referred to each other as sisters. 
 We were friends for over 30 years. I will never forget her hugs, great conversations and the great bond we had. My life moving forward won’t be the same without her. She was always there for me. I’m at great peace knowing she is with the Lord as well as her loved ones gone before her. Joyce will forever be in my heart ❤️ Rest In Peace my sweet friend.  Until we meet again, I love you!

I’m sitting here in my living room, looking at the snowman Aunt Joyce made for me, and it makes me think of all the people she brought joy through her creativity. I loved that about her. She was such a hard worker and she put a lot of love into everything she made. 

I miss her voice, her laugh most of all. She always had a good story to tell—I wish I could hear one more.

We love you Aunt Joyce. Sleep in heavenly peace.
