Joyce was a lifelong friend of my late mother Sue Ellen (Hall) Knoll as they grew up in the same neighborhood and continued their friendship into adulthood. Even thou Joyce was a bully to my mom in their younger years Lol. We were very close to her and her family growing up. We always thought we were family we didn’t know any different growing up. Her and her husband were the most kind caring people I’ve ever known. It’s been years between seeing her but every time we would meet she would hug me like a daughter. I was hoping to see her this summer and catch up on stories of the past. But life doesn’t always go as expected time gets away from us. She will be missed by many as she touched many lives. Now her and my mom can play cards till we all get to meet up again… Rest In Peace Joyce love ya forever Kelly Kay Knoll
P.S. Give my mom a hug and kiss for me…
Joyce I know I need to say goodbye, but playing cards you'll be there, doing bingo you'll be there, setting outside at 2pm & 8pm you'll be there. I love and miss you God Bless
