As a teenager, Joyce joined First Saint Holland Baptist Church, Rev.

games. But her most cherish moments were watching her grandkids
display their talents. Granddaughter Jada,played college basketball
and her grandson JoCorian plays basketball at the high school level
and also plays the drums at church. Granddaughter, Tori was a singer
in her college choir and played the piano. As well as being there for
Shakayla, Princeton and Mya.
Joyce was avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles
Lakers.
Joyce also enjoyed watching westerns, soap operas General Hospital
and taking a nap in her recliner and later getting up and drinking her a
good old cold coke. Without a doubt, her favorite meal was a chicken
fried steak with mashed potatoes, green beans and heavy on the
gravy.
