Joyce “Maw Maw/Nana” had a big heart and loved those around her with everything she had. She had a great sense of humor, and everyone can share a funny story of something she did; like rolling down the windows at a red light to sing opera at the top of her lungs. She loved Elvis and she will be dearly missed by all. She was a member of the Baptist Church.
The family would like to thank the staff at Southern Care New Beacon for their wonderful care.

My condolences to Joyce’s family and friends. I was blessed to know her and many of her family, including our good friend Darian. May God comfort you in this time of grief. All my love, Matt Odom
Joyce “Flossie” will be forever missed. She was my Moms very best friend and she kept my parents memory alive for all of us. I’ll miss talking with her about the good ole days and I will miss how much she would say she loved all of us. I know she is rejoicing with Doug and her sons and I can’t imagine the hug she shared with my Mom & Dad. She will be forever missed but I know she is wearing wings of gold. Until we meet again Flossie, we love you so much. Praying for all of you Van & family.
Love & Condolences,
Michelle & Kevin Williams,
