Joyce accepted Christ as her personal savior early in her childhood and has always trusted and believed in God. She devoted her ministry to Emanuel Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky. earlier in her life and then transferred to Lanier Memorial Baptist Church where she remained a member until her passing. Joyce was a phenomenal woman. She touched everyone she came encounter with in her own personal way. Whether she helped picked out your engagement ring, ensured you got the best deal for your money, fed you, gave you a ride, offered a warm hug or just gave you friendly spiritual advice and encouragement she was always there to give a hand (Mrs. Joyce).
She was a passionate mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, co-worker, leader, niece, cousin and child of God. She was loved by all. She enjoyed traveling, riding motorcycles and most of all hanging in the park with her girls and later on her grandchildren. She was a strong woman and fought to the end.
