Joyce was a teacher at Holy Savior Catholic School in Lockport, LA for over 25 years, followed by a second career as an LPN in Mathews, LA. She had a knack for bringing out a smile in everyone she met, everywhere she went. She enjoyed photography, traveling, writing in her journal, word puzzles, and—most of all—her family.
The family would like to give special thanks to Teresa Fields for her kindness and assistance to Joyce and Sid over the past few years.
