Joyce was a member of Faith Christian Assembly of God. She was a much 
loved mother and grandmother and her greatest passion was her family. 
She was an avid quilter and up until she was no longer able to quilt, she 
presented each child, grandchild and great-grandchild with a beautiful 
quilt stitched with love and tenderness. She also loved to sew and crochet.
She was a true Christian woman in every sense of the word. She touched the 
lives of everyone she came in contact with. 
She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.  
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 25, 2010, at Faith 
Christian Assembly of God, 306 North, Grantsboro, NC with the Rev. Bob 
Case officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the
service at the church.
