Edward P. Joyce, age 59, of Woodstock, Georgia, formerly of Ireland, passed away on March 28, 2022.
Eddie was one of ten children and was born to Mary Kavanagh Joyce and the late Thomas Joyce in Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland.
Eddie was intelligent, quick witted and skilled in practical matters. He enjoyed learning about firearms, history, politics and the people around him. Eddie served as the patriarch to his family and was a reliable friend to many. It was easy to go to him with your problems; Eddie would find a solution, share a relatable story from his life or cheer you up when you were down.
Eddie was a great example to others and was a devout Catholic. He was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church, was a former fireman and was the founder of Joyce Concrete Products.
Eddie’s memory will be cherished by his wife of 20 years, Lynda Joyce; mother, Mary Joyce; children, Tara Joyce, Evan Joyce, Ronald Alton, Ryan Alton (Leah) and Maxwell Allen; grandchildren, Lucille Alton, Layke Alton and Noah Edward Alton; siblings, Anne Foley (Des), Mary Doyle (Joe), Thomas Joyce (Siobhan), Denis Joyce (Madeline), Keiran Joyce, Mark Joyce (Caroline), Elizabeth Magarahan (Ray), Laura Kilbride (Billy) and Michael Joyce (Jacqueline); and many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
