Joyce was known for her deep love of The Beatles, “nerdy things” (e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars and Marvel movies), the Cubs, the Bears and Jesus (but not necessarily in that order). She loved to laugh and always looked for the humor in every situation.

Unfailingly thoughtful, caring and warm-hearted, she afforded grace and kindness to everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by so many. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Joyce’s honor to a charity of their choice.
