I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Joyce. I just recently heard of this devastating news. My mom taught Adam in preschool. I started working part time at TJMaxx and I loved my times working and chatting with Joyce. God bless you all. My prayers for you all.

Doug & Adam
My deepest condolences to you both and the family. I had the pleasure of working with Joyce at New York and Company for several years. During that time Joyce would always share stories about Adam-all of his accomplishments! She would just light up whenever she spoke of him. Adam-your mom was beyond proud of you and her love for you is endless. Joyce loved her family so very much-loved hearing the stores about their adventures. Joyce had such style and class…always so well dressed, hair, make up and nails! You will be missed by so many! ♥️

Thoughts and prayers to your family at this time. I worked with Joyce at NY&Co for 4 years. She was the most compassionate, smart, patient colleague. She would always share stories and updates about her son and how proud she was of him. I am in disbelief. My heart goes out to you all. 


so very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. my condolences to the family

Doug and Adam,

Joyce was such an amazing woman to talk to and to know as our karate family. The love she had for the both of you was unconditional and it spread to the rest of us. Joyce always had the right words to say, room was brighter when she walked in because of that smile, and her laugh made you laugh. The karate memories we have with one another will live on in our hearts forever. Joyce will be your guardian angel from above. Our sympathies are with you and your family. Sending big hugs to comfort all of you during this heart felt time 🙏🏼🕊️

I was so saddened to hear of Joyce's passing. She was SUCH a wonderful lady. I had the great pleasure of working with her some years ago when I was an assistant manager & she was a sales associate at Lerner/NY & Co in Meriden.  She was intelligent, statuesque, witty & beyond efficient! And we laughed!  A true class act & lady. How she loved her family! At that time her son was a toddler & the light of her life. Over the yrs when us retail gals would get together to catch up, it was always so wonderful to see her. Thinking of Joyce- & you-her family- at this difficult time.  Love & prayers.

Dear Bacon family, 

My heart breaks for you in the devastating loss of Joyce. I have fond memories of your family from  way back in our school days...spending time at your house with Pam, sleepovers and washing dishes in your "old fashioned" kitchen sink!,  picnics at the Rod and Gun club, dances with your parents at the Knights of Columbus (I think) and just how fun and happy everyone was! 
I'm thinking of you all and keeping you in loving prayer.

Joyce and I worked together on Nathan Hales PTO.  I enjoyed her company.  We often ran into each other and would catch up regarding our sons.  She was a loving Mom, always had nice things to say, I will miss seeing her smile.
Peace & love,

I am so sorry about the loss of Joyce. I pray that you’ll find peace in your soul. My children (Jocelyne and Meghan) spent time in your yard on the play scape when they came to visit their grandmother and your neighbor Betty. May God comfort you during this difficult time. We are so sorry.

Adam and Doug; 
Your mom and wife was such a beautiful person.  My life is blessed because Joyce was a part of it.  She was so caring and selfless.  She took great pride in you Adam and I am so joy filled that she was able to see you graduate college, and that she was able to see that day together with you Doug. Your wife always wanted the best for you Doug and always knew your ability for great achievements in life.  Joyce would want you both to honor her by living life to the fullest, to put God first, and to seek Him first when anxious or sad. Let everything you do bring the JOY that will honor your mom/wife’s name JOYce. In Jesus love always, Margie Barretta

I met Joyce through Donna and instantly I made another friend. You made me laugh all the time with your Adam and Mom stories, you were one classy lady , we shared our love for the sandy beaches and the crashing waves of the ocean, you will be missed more than you can ever know! Rest in heaven my friend 🎈

I am truly sorry for your loss! Joyce was the most loyal, generous person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in peace Joyce you will be missed. 

"It feels terrible to say goodbye so quickly. So instead, I'll just say 'I love you,' knowing you're always with me."  RIP my friend  I’ll always remember you 😘 we have many many memories together ❤️🙏❤️

I met Joyce when she started working at Tjmaxx. She was such a nice easy going person. She loved my girls and we loved her so much. The world is a different place without her. Wishing her family peace during this difficult time. 

I met Joyce on our first day starting work at TJ Maxx together. We were both sitting on the bench waiting for our orientation together. And then she was  jabbing away starting a conversation. I knew right then in there how nice this woman was. We instantly became friends. I will miss our games we played almost every day on our phones., our random outings, our random pics we sent to eachother etc… I will miss so so much more. RIP  beautiful Joyce.

I met Joyce almost 40 years ago, when her sister Sandy, became my best friend. She was one of the kindest and sweetest people I have ever met. My last visit with her was when she came to visit Sandy in Florida. Joyce and I spent the day together, having lunch together, it was such a special day. I’ll treasure that day forever. 

I was so very saddened to hear of Joyce's sudden passing.We became friends when our sons played football together ,then quickly became bleacher buddies at all the games,sharing laughs,great conversation, snacks and recipes. Her Mac and cheese was the best,mine never came out as good as hers.Every time I ran into her at work it was so nice to catch up and share updates of our families, she always beemed with proudness when speaking of Adam,her pride and joy. Condolences to Doug and Adam and Family, may your cherished memories bring you peace. Sincerely Gina Studley 

Sending all my love to Joyce’s family during this difficult time. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I worked with Joyce for almost five years, she was a kind woman whose love and pride for her son, Adam, shined brighter than the sun. She was reliable and had such a special sense of humor that helped get us through the tough days. I know she will be missed greatly by so many. 

We met Joyce at least 15 years ago when our kids were in karate together. She was always the friendliest, kindest person who routed for all of the karate friends. She was a loving mother to Adam and she was always so proud of him. The world is a little duller without the sparkle of Joyce. 
Our deepest condolences to Adam and Doug,
Carrie and Andrew Beckley
