In 1956 Joyce was named March of Dimes Texas Polio Mother of the Year. She retired from the Kendall County Sheriff’s office after many years of service with the county as a 911 dispatcher. She loved crocheting, playing games, and spending time with family.
We know she is at peace, free from all pain and has received her new body that she so looked forward to. We know Jesus met her with the words we all long to hear, “Well done good and faithful servant”. 2 Corinthians 5: For we know that when this tent we live in now is taken down—when we die and leave these bodies—we will have wonderful new bodies in heaven, homes that will be ours forevermore, made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
