Joyce loved her family and had a passion for Jesus. Joyce was active in many community groups, but she spent the majority of her time making disciples as a member of Central Baptist Church. She led countless bible studies and mentored many lady Aggies who were seeking Jesus and/or a substitute mom during their time in Aggieland. Even in her last weeks, Joyce spent time mentoring her nephews and encouraging them to grow in their walk with the Lord. Through the many tragedies Joyce faced, her unwavering faith in Christ had positive impacts on everyone who knew her. Joyce Mervish was a Proverbs 31 woman and a warrior for Christ.
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents Jesse and Mary Hall, brothers John and Joe Hall, her husband Arthur “Art” Mervish, her daughters, Neva Mervish and Judy Crozier, her step-sons, Alan and Randy Mervish, grandsons, Brant Knight and Keith Mervish.
She is survived by her sisters, Mary Gray and her husband Durell, Emma Miller and her husband Jack, Patsy Hoke and Betty Coleman, two grandsons who she and Art adopted after Neva’s passing, David Mervish and wife Lori of Bryan, and their daughters Kylie and Taylor, and Phillip Mervish and wife Eileen of San Antonio, and their children Andrew and Layla, daughter-in-law, Sharon Mervish, grandchildren, Kelly Alonso, Jessica Niles, Randall Knight, Megan Mervish, and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and extended family who she dearly loved.
In lieu of flowers, make a donation to your favorite charity in Joyce’s name. The best way to honor Joyce is to find a person to lead to Christ or a person to disciple into a more spiritually mature Christian.
