Joyce enjoyed bowling in her younger years.  She is an avid Sheepshead player and liked to knit and sew.  Above all, she loved socializing with people such as friends and fellow church members.

Joyce is survived by her niece,  Sue (Jim) Schmoll; great nieces, Peggy (Pete) Vold, Linda Knors, Sharon (Bill) Smith; other nieces, nephews, and other family too numerous to mention.

In addition to her parents, Joyce is preceded in death by her sisters, Breletta Juras, Catherine Breidinger, Verna Malmberg, Laura Henderson, Ethel Smith, and Florence Pedersen.
