My sincere condolences to Joyce’s family. I first met Joyce 40+ years ago when we were social work colleagues at UNMC. We’d bump into each other occasionally over the years, and I was always struck by her kind and gentle manner, and her deep commitment to our profession. May God hold her in the palm of his hand.
Debbie and Doug, Andrew & family, Brie & family, I send my deepest heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I only met Joyce a few times but was very taken by her grace, elegance, and kindness. It was easy to ascertain that she was a wonderful mother and grandmother and did such a great job of raising her wonderful children.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. I have worked with Joyce for many years at the VNA. I was always impressed by her professionalism, both in appearance and, more importantly, in action. She was a standard that others should strive to be. We were all better for knowing Joyce. She will be greatly missed.
What a wonderful soul. We loved being her neighbor and talking about our cats. She will be deeply missed.
