Born in Price, Utah on June 20, 1947, Joyce spent her youth in Salt Lake City and Price creating many wonderful memories with her numerous cousins. She graduated from Skyline HS in Salt Lake in 1965 where she was named a Deseret News Sterling Scholar in Business/Clerical. Following high school, she attended BYU where she received her Associates Degree and where she met Brent Hughes with whom she had four children. They later divorced. In 2000 she married Lyndon Saxton. They enjoyed two happy years together before he passed away. A highlight of Mom’s professional life was working as a secretary for President David O. McKay.

She loved her friends at the Seville and left an impact on them with her infectious personality and charitable ways. A lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Mom loved the Gospel and lived her life to serve others, especially her children and grand-children whom she dearly loved.
