She was also enthusiastically devoted to her second children, her fur babies. She enjoyed riding to view old and antebellum homes restored with porches that would wrap around the entire house. Joyce loved to drink coffee, listen to music, and garden in her yard with her rose bushes, 4 o’ clocks, and morning glories. She enjoyed the company of her dogs and watching the birds and flowers. She had a deep faith and saw God in all his creation. She was blessed and was a blessing to all she knew. She was known for a quick wit and a compassionate spirit.
