Joyce was passionate about women's rights and deeply concerned about environmental issues. Joyce loved to usher at Roswell Presbyterian and welcomed everyone with a smile. She enjoyed sewing lap quilts with "Prayers and Squares". A memorial service will be held April 17th at 2:00 p.m. at Roswell Presbyterian Church in Roswell, GA.
