Joyce’s first priority was her family, and she was happiest when she spent time with her family, talking and laughing around the kitchen table. She had a passion for crocheting afghans, and she shared her talent by gifting the blankets she made to the people in her life. Joyce also made a mean pot of gumbo, always had a witty word to say, and opened her heart to everyone who knew her. The light she brought to the world will be missed dearly.
Her family would like to extend their appreciation to Notre Dame Hospice, Dr. Nona Epstein, and Dr. Christopher White who provided excellent health care for many years.
