Joyce always loved being around her family and friends. They were second in importance only to her faith. A Christ-follower her entire life, she always started each day by reading her Bible and praying over her family. An avid musician, she played multiple instruments and loved to Sing. Her favorite things to play and sing were hymns and bluegrass music. While her family feels tremendous grief by her loss, they take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering and in pain but instead resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus.
