She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 54 years, Myron, son Garry, grandson Brian Marsden, parents Ray and Daisy Elliott, siblings Ray Jr. (Bud) and Shirley. Joyce enjoyed being a homemaker and mother who always loved a good laugh, even making up games to make everyday chores more exciting. She loved dancing, singing, shopping, eating coffeecake and playing card games. She never left the house without full makeup, jewelry and perfume. During the last few years, Joyce spent time enjoying the simpler things in life – Culver’s ice cream, talking on the phone, and watching her favorite TV programs. Joyce was known for her ability to roll with the punches and not let life get you down. She will be dearly missed by all.
