Joyce was a homemaker. She loved to spend time with her family and grandchildren. A wonderful baker, Joyce made the best pancakes, chocolate pie and scones for her family. A gifted seamstress, Joyce could sew about anything. She also enjoyed bowling and dancing with her husband, Charles. Crossword puzzles, playing cards and simply enjoying coffee on her front porch with her friends were a few of Joyce’s favorites. Most of all Joyce cherished the moments she shared with her family and friends.

A devout Catholic, Joyce prayed to the “Hail Mary” to the Blessed Mother often and was faithful to her church. She formerly attended the St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Coal Valley, IL and was currently a member of St. William Catholic Church in Perry, MO.
