For many years Joyce established and owned a Montgomery Wards catalog store in Rockdale. She was such a success at Wards, she won many awards, a national sales contest with the prize of a 1968 Camaro. Utilizing her flare for sales and genuine love of people, after many years with Wards, Joyce went into retail sales for Foley's, where she was a star employee, winning even more awards on a local as well as national level.
Despite having to live through the devastating loss of two sons, a grandson and her husband, she kept the faith. She remained thankful for all the blessings and memories. She even posted little notes throughout the house with the saying "Remember, there is always, always something to be thankful for". Joyce adored her family, immediate and extended and always looked forward to the annual gatherings and girls beach trips. She loved to talk about the fun! She also became quite the traveler for a while and had special memories with her very good friends. The memories of these adventures brought her great joy. Joyce also thoroughly enjoyed her garden club in Rockdale and those special friends. Joyce loved the Lord. She was a member of Murray Church of Christ in Rockdale as well as A&M Church of Christ in College Station. [from her full obit as posted at phillipsandluckey.com]
