Kim I am so sorry to hear about Joyce.  She was a remarkable woman and so wonderful to us when were looking for a home.  Sincerest condolences to you and your family.  Susan Patrick

To the family of Joyce Winters, I'm very sorry for your loss.  Miss Joyce was my very 1st dance teacher back in the early 60's at her studio on Clifford Ave. (I think that's where it was, I was only 4 yrs old).  I will always remember her fondly & will keep her in my thoughts & prayers.  I hope your memories will comfort you & bring you peace.  Much love to all.

Gail Gauger

Joyce we will always remember you as a lovely & caring woman, 
you will be missed.
Respectfully,
Joanne & Billy Romano


Kim,

Kathy and I are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. 
At a time like this memories come back very clearly. We had good times back in the day when we were all much younger and in good health. Your dad was always my favorite cousin and when your mom came along she also became my favorite.  Joyce also always kept in contact when my mom and that was special.  She is in a better place now where there is no suffering and with your dad.
Dick


Kim, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mom! She was a great asset to the dance community. I remember her sitting back stage after the last Summer Dance competition just chilling and being so proud of all her students and teachers. I do sincerely regret not teaching for her when she asked me in the 1960's! She was a wonderful teacher,  person and business lady and will be truly missed. Sending many prayers and hugs to you and your family!

Thinking of you Kim and your family during this time. Joyce was a force in the dance world in Rochester. She will be remembered for all she did. You and your family remain in my prayers and thoughts.

Kim, know that I’m thinking of you, remembering your mother, Joyce, and celebrating her life.

I was lucky enough to work with Joyce at Remax and got a chance to see what a beautiful and lovely lady she was.

My Sympathies to you and your family.




It has been over 10 years when my father and I meet the awesome duo of Joyce and Kim. Joyce was a wonderful person and a huge personality on her own. A great woman  will be truly missed.

I met Joyce and Bob playing trivia and some bar I can't remember where, But they were part of a great croud. Later on I met Kim and I did work at their house and outhers But Joyce was a great person  I'm so sorry she has Left us

Miss Joyce was my first teacher when I was 6 years old. Her studio was like my second home and everyone in our competition team went on to become professionals in the dance field. She was always kind and ready with a smile. I remember her teaching my solos in high heeled go go boots and a mini dress. I loved my time there and danced there until I graduated high school. While going to college for dance I taught there. I get my passion and love for dance from my first dance teacher Miss Joyce. I am sure you are tap dancing on golden streets. I won’t say good bye but until we meet again.

Taking dance lessons from Joyce was a highlight of my childhood.  All my sympathies Kim


Kim,
I am so sorry about the loss of your mom.  There is nothing in life better than a GREAT mom!  I am really close to my mom just like you so I can only imagine how much it hurts right now.  I am hoping that all of the Cherished memories the two of you have made together will bring comfort to you.  What an impact she made on so many and what an amazing lady she was.  She will be missed! 
 Sending Heartfelt condolences and hugs!! xoxo
Sincerely,
Wendy M. Wilson

Had the opportunity to meet her and speak with her during my time with Remax Preferred. Sweet, sweet lady.  Gods welcomed her home. 
May the light of peace be with the entire family during this time of sadness.  Condolences, Sylvia Knight

Dear Kim,

Please know that we are thinking of you.  Your Mom was a beautiful soul and she raised a beautiful, caring daughter.  May the memories you cherish comfort you in this time of sorrow. Thoughts and memories of our loved ones never leave our hearts.

Your friends,
Mike and Shawna Prado

I met both Joyce and Kim when I decided to buy property in Florida. I was taken by the synergies of mother and daughter and the respect and love they had for each other. Joyce warmness and kindness was very heartfelt and refreshing to me coming from outside the state. Since 2014 I made many trips to Florida and had the pleasure to see Joyce and she made me feel like family with her smile - she will be missed!  To Kim, Joyce and you were inseparable, and I consider them the fabulous duo - stay strong Kim she is in a better place, and I and sure she will always be with you and looking over you!

It was many years ago when my husband and I were looking for a condo in the FL area to become snowbirds,  and I remember Kim and her mom so well.   They were such a great team and so very kind and helpful.   We ended up buying a condo in Clearwater, FL; however, we will always remember Kim and her mom and their kindness.  
Kim, we are so very sorry for your loss.  May God be with you and help you through these very difficult times.  We both lost parents this past year, so we understand your heartache and sadness.  Hold on to all the special memories you have with her.     Kimberlie & David

Joyce and Kim have been stopping in my market for 10 years. I’ve gotten to know Joyce personally and always enjoyed our visits talking about our animals over sips of coffee. Joyce you are missed, thank you. Kim, please keep visiting when you are in the neighborhood. Love Gina.. 

My heartfelt condolences are with you Kim and your family. Joyce was a beautiful woman inside and out. She radiated kindness and joy. As the only daughter who has also lost her mom, I can empathize with what you must be feeling right now. There’s no doubt that heaven gained an Angel. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that she’s the best version of herself again, filled with radient glory and without any pain. Losing a mom is never easy but the heartache does ease with time. You were an amazing daughter to her and she was so proud of you. You could visibly see how much she loved you Kim. Please know that she’ll continue to watch over you. She’d wouldn’t want you to be sad but would want you to be happy and live your life to fullest. Thinking of you and sending you the biggest hug. 

RIP Joyce, you were the best friend anyone could ask for. We had alot of great times over the last 20 years. I will always cherish our true freindship.You were always there for me when I needed a true friend. I am going to miss you every day, as we spoke everyday for 20 years. Time to join your husband Bob. Tell Jimmy I miss him too. What a year, I lose Jimmy and now you. Thank God I have Kim in my life.
