Joyce retired from the Little Rock School District in 2002, was a committed and long-time member of Agape Church and will be remembered as one who prayed fervently, served unconditionally, and pursued Christ endlessly. Joyce had a contagious smile and was an unbelievable wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Joyce found great joy in taking care of her family. She loved hosting gatherings, cooking, reminiscing, and playing with her grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Joyce's name to Acts Ministries (P.O.
