Joyce worked for Stevenson Industries in Winston Salem, NC until she retired to Long Beach to be closer to family. Following her move to Long Beach, she worked briefly at the Seabee Base in childcare and housing. She was mischievous, quick witted and was loved by all who knew her. Joyce loved people and she loved animals of all kinds. She was artistic and spent many hours with her friends at the Long Beach Senior Citizen's Center. Joyce attended First United Methodist Church of Long Beach, where she was a board member of the Older Adult Kindred Spirits (OAKS) and enjoyed helping with the biannual rummage and bake sale. She was an avid reader and a diehard New Orleans Saints fan.
