Joyce Audrey Flash

Joyce Audrey Flash gained her heavenly wings and peacefully went home to be with the Lord

on October 31, 2026.

Joyce was born on April 29,1941 in Kingston, Jamaica West Indies, to the late Samuel and Pearl Flash. She received her education in the Jamaican school system and graduated from Kingston Senior School. Joyce furthered her education and graduated from cosmetology school. In 1961, she made the journey from Jamaica to the United States, where she began building a life filled with love, hard work, and cherished memories.

In September 1970, Joyce welcomed her one and only child, her beloved daughter, Monique Y. Fila, who became the center of her world and one of her greatest blessings.

Throughout her life, Joyce was dedicated, independent and a hardworking woman. She held several positions, including employment at Chaspec Manufacturing in Stamford, Connecticut,

and later at Greenwich Associates, where she faithfully worked until her retirement in 2012.

Above all, Joyce treasured her family. Her love for them knew no boundaries, and she found great joy in bringing everyone together. She expressed her love in many ways, especially through her cooking and baking. Joyce was famous for her delicious collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and her unforgettable carrot cake. Even now, family and friends are still asking for that special carrot cake recipe! Her kitchen was a place of comfort, laughter, and love, and the meals she prepared will forever be a part of the beautiful memories she leaves behind.

Joyce also had a love for shopping and enjoyed spending time with her adopted sister, Dorothy Vickers. The two were truly two peas in a pod! Whether they were out shopping, running the

streets, going to the movies, traveling, or simply enjoying each other's company, they shared a special bond and created countless memories that will be treasured forever.

Joyce leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, laughter, and beautiful memories. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She leaves to cherish her precious memory her one and only daughter, Monique (Michael) Williams of Bridgeport, Connecticut; her godchildren, Yvonne Dickerson, Elizabeth Durham, and

Rudolph Bailey, Jr.; one granddaughter, Breyana Baxter of Charlotte, North Carolina; and one grandson, Tyler Bing-Lawson of Raleigh, North Carolina.

She also leaves to cherish her memory her beloved siblings: Harold (Audry) Flash of England; Avis Bennett of St. Louis, Missouri; Eleanor James of Tamarac, Florida; Patricia Fraser of Norwalk, Connecticut; Brandis (Verda) Flash of Stratford, Connecticut; Winston (Edith) Flash of Houston, Texas; Colin Flash (Sheila) of Mount Vernon, New York; and Clifford (Rena) Flash of Brooklyn, New York.

She will also be lovingly remembered by a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that Joyce's journey here on earth is complete, and she is now resting in the loving arms of the Lord. Her love, her laughter, her

delicious cooking, and the memories she created will remain with us always.

Rest peacefully, Joyce. You were loved, you will be missed, and you will never be forgotten.
