Hazel K Joyce

Hazel Koger Joyce passed away May 23, five days before her 89th birthday. She was born in Henry County Virginia to the late Demus Koger and the late O’Neal Tuggle Koger. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband Albert Joyce, her brother Monroe Koger, and her sister Dollie Bryant. She is survived by her daughter, Vicki Turner (Ron) of Conway, SC.; her son Jody Joyce (Sandra) of Ft Mill, SC.; four grandsons, Jim Turner (Amy), Jason Turner, AJ Joyce and Joshua Joyce; two great grands, Alexandra Turner and Jacob Turner. She loved life and it loved her back. She loved God and He loved her back. She found joy in loving her family and keeping up with them. She loved trees and flowers and many people enjoyed the fruit of her green thumb. Her warm smile and loving personality will be missed by all who knew her. There is a saying she liked and tried to live by.....Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. That’s what she would want us to do.
