Joyce enjoyed gardening, cooking and baking, and was known for taking cookie trays to work and giving them to friends. She was an OSU Buckeye fan and loved sports of all kinds. An avid Lincolnview Lancer fan, Joyce always supported the teams.

Always wanting to look her best, she will be missed by the ladies of the hair and nail salon. She adored her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren and cherished the time spent with them.
