My world was forever a better place for meeting and getting to know Joyce. She was a happy, lovely woman and a complete class act. She really loved her family and would beam when she was talking about them. She is one of a kind and a will really miss her. She was a total blessing to everyone. RIP.
Joyce was a wonderful person and friend – she was always smiling whenever I saw her. When I joined the choir at Fayetteville First United Methodist Church, she was one of the first ones to greet me and make me feel a part of the choir. What an honor it is to sing at her celebration of life – she will be missed but her legacy and love of life will live on in all who knew and loved her.
Joyce was such a special lady to me – always smiling! When I joined the choir at Fay First UMC, she was one of the first to greet me and make me feel at home!
