Her personal interests included gardening, attending craft shows, supporting local businesses, and a deep love for animals, particularly fostering dogs. Joyce enjoyed watching baseball, especially when her son played.
In her community, Joyce was known for her involvement in supporting Outkast rescue. Her distinct laugh was infectious, bringing joy to those around her.
