Joyce was a graduate of Celina Senior High School. She retired from Goodyear in St. Marys after many years of service.

Lovingly known as the "Energizer Bunny", Joyce gave her heart to the Mercer County Council on Aging (Senior Center), volunteering for the last 25 years. She spent countless hours assisting with their Garage Sales, Thursday and Sunday Night Card Games, the monthly Newsletter, Craft Classes, Special Events, as a Transportation Services Driver, and beyond.

Joyce always had a smile and a hug for everyone, and truly enjoyed helping people in any way she could.

She also liked to recycle and repurpose items. Joyce enjoyed spending time with her family; daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and her fur babies.
