Condolences to the Roberts Family. My memories of Joyce are from childhood as a resident of Walltown Community and a friend and classmate of Joann and Elsie. Joyce was beautiful inside and out always smiling, cheerful and with nice words for anyone who met her. May she rest in peace. Mrs. Jacqueline Channelle Glenn
Growing up in Walltown across the street from Joyce and the Roberts family she was like a big sister and would always be on the watch for us younger girls. She never fussed or raised her voice much but she would give us that side eye look and we knew what that meant. Hold on to the memories ❤️
Joyce and my mother shared a birthday date. So, I called her on that date. She was always so appreciative of the call. I've known her as long as I am. She always dressed well, wore her lipstick and held her shoulders back. No slouching! She adored her children and her siblings. She had a lot of Ma Elsie in her. She will be missed. Peace to the family. She fought a good fight. Denise McIntosh
Joyce, I will remember you in love, and cooking that hamburger helper and smelling it all the way down the hill while riding my bike. No one cooks like you do and you saying, "Renee'". I will miss our long talks on the phone while I make you laugh and you convincing me to come over because you going to cook whatever I want. God has a real cook now, so let him taste that good, "Joyce Roberts hamburger helper", I will miss you but never forgotten. I love you my Joyce! Dennis, Yolanda (londa Poochie), Barry and Ricky love y'all.
Love y'all, Pamela Renee' Farrar

I posted the poem "The True Meaning Of Life" by Patricia A Fleming. Joyce showed me the true meaning of life through her love of others. You never knew who you might see at her house. Everyone had a special relationship with Joyce. She would listen to your every word, smile, and nod her head in agreement. You knew she didn't agree with everything you said but you knew she was listening, and trying her best to understand your point of view. She cared about you and what you were going through. You never knew if she was having a bad day or not feeling well. Joyce always had a smile on her face and always welcomed you into her house to sit down and talk for a little while. I will miss those talks. I will miss MY JOYCE! That is "The True Meaning Of Life". ----Janice Roberts, Joyce Jones' Daughter-in-law
The True Meaning Of Life The years have passed by In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness And joy has flown by.
People I loved Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped, And we all carried on.
Life wasn't easy, And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn't care.
I stood on my own, And I still found my way, Through some nights filled with tears, And the dawn of new days.
And now with old age, It's become very clear; Things I once found important Were not why I was here.
And how many things That I managed to buy Were never what made me Feel better inside.
And the worries and fears That plagued me each day, In the end of it all, Would just fade away.
But how much I reached out To others when needed, Would be the true measure Of how I succeeded.
And how much I shared Of my soul and my heart Would ultimately be What set me apart.
And what's really important, Is my opinion of me, And whether or not I'm the best I can be.
And how much more kindness And love I can show Before the Lord tells me It's my time to go.
--Patricia A Fleming.
