A. Joyce Johnson Harris, age 89, died November 27, 2020 surrounded by those she loved.
She was born August 2, 1931 in Porterville to Willard Glen Johnson and Zola May Zhinden. She married the love of her life and soulmate, Leroy Ernest Harris, on June 20, 1947; they were later sealed in the temple for life and all eternity.
Joyce had many talents that she loved to share and teach her family from ceramics, jewelry-making, sewing, crocheting, quilting, and baking. She enjoyed the outdoors and loved camping, fishing, hunting, and gardening. She had a love of reading and would always find a stack of Harlequin romance novels throughout the house. She loved her family beyond anything else and everything she did was for them.
She had a love of shopping and a thing for clothes and knick-knacks. She loved to get all dolled up for the day even if there was nowhere to go. Going “Junkin” was always on the list for a good outing with her and she had HSN and QVC on speed dial for the next coolest gadget, piece of clothing, or jewelry.
She had an uncanny sense of humor and always new how to lighten a mood with an off-the-wall inappropriate comment. Holidays brought her so much delight and loved to go all out decorating and baking for Christmas. She had a love for old Western movies and music and you could always guarantee one was playing on her TV or radio in the background.
Joyce had a love and testimony for her religion and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a soft spot in her heart for all her ward members and friends. Joyce has always been known for taking the underdog under her wing and loving them.
Joyce is survived by four children, Cheryl (Mike), Kirby (Brenda), John, and Michelle (Tony); siblings, Joann, Linda (Jerry), Carol (Dennis), and Nancy (Paul); sixteen grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren. Joyce is preceded in death by her husband, Roy; parents, Glen (Evelyn) and Betty; brother-in-law, Nels; four children, Diana, George, Mike, and Bobby; and one granddaughter, Jaime.
A special thanks to all of her neighbors and friends for all the help and friendships they have provided for Joyce over the years.
