Joyce Henderson Ward passed away on October 30, 2019, in Alexandria, Louisiana due to complications associated with advanced Alzheimer’s, at the age of 92 years old. She was born to parents Alice Wicker Henderson and Bronson Armfield Henderson in Pine Bluff, Arkansas on February 6, 1927.
Joyce was born during the Great Depression to young parents who struggled greatly to raise a family of daughters. As a teenager she loved the outdoors and especially fishing, was considered a “Tom Boy” by her father, whom he called “Tommy”. Later, she was an avid bowler, loved to read and enjoyed her extensive involvement with her church and its many community activities. However, she was most proud of her children and their accomplishments. Her family misses her dearly.
Joyce was married to the late Edwin Roger Ward shortly after WWII and was a devoted wife and loving mother to 6 children. She is survived by 3 sons and a daughter, 12 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
