I can remember as a child going and picking dew berries by the gallon for Aunt Joyce to make jam. I would always have fun. She was an amazing lady. She will be loved and missed very deeply. I love you.

I don’t have words worthy of describing this strong wonderful lady. She loved us all. She baked great homemade biscuits. She took her grandsons to dig for worms and go fishing. She took care of all of her grandchildren and taught them the same as she raised her children, to work hard, be honest and love family. She has left a legacy that will be carried on by her family and friends. I’ll never forget the time when she and papa cleaned our house. I got home first and just walked around in amazement and gratitude. I was a work-outside-the-home mom and she and papa were always there when I couldn’t be. Brought me peace of mind having them nearby. I love you, mom.

When Earl and I got married we went with Aunt Joyce and Uncle Sonny to the VFW on 620 to celebrate. We had a great time that night. I also worked with them cleaning houses, Aunt Joyce and UncleSonny made it fun, it didn't feel like work and she always brought more food than you can imagine and made me eat(even if I didn't wont to lol). She showed me nothing but love and respect. Going to miss you sweet Lady

I Called Grandma ,Old Grandma my kids was the 5th generation they got to meet Old Grandma . One thing I can say about Grandma she never gave up without a Fight and she taught me to be a very strong headed person and never let anyone tell you different. I know my Papa is dancing with her in Heaven HONKY TONK ANGELS ARE DANCING ONCE AGAIN !!! And as if being Dennis Wayne Littlest wasn’t hard enough she made sure everyone knew I was his baby and She made sure I had a tough skin just like her never letting anyone tell you different in the world and not letting anyone run you over in life she would say.I kept every pillow and blanket she ever made for me and for my kids these blankets are very special and now even more special now something nobody can buy it was made from love every pattern and stitch.
Love you
Old Grandma I will see you again with my papa
God Gained another Angel in Heaven

Joyce was a wonderful mother. I remember how Jim and I would go on Saturday's to visit uncle sonny and Joyce. Sometimes we would join the family for dancing. She was down to earth and loving to her family. She will be missed by friends and family. I leave loving thoughts and prayers to the whited family.

I know Aunt Joyce is rejoicing in Heaven to be reunited with Sonny and all of her other family members who have gone before her. I’m sure she is laughing and singing at the top of her voice! I also know the pain of losing a loved one, even when we know they are in a much better place. I pray for comfort and peace for all of you.
Love,
Kathy
