Joyce retired from the Social Security Administration after 33 years of service. After retiring, she began advocating for those who were trying to navigate the Social Security Disability system. Her passion was helping those in need and she worked tirelessly and vigorously on their behalf. She was a loving and doting wife, mother and grandmother who loved life and always found the silver lining. She loved her friends and enjoyed being active through walking, line dancing and yoga. She lived her Christian beliefs through helping others, showing unmatched compassion, and selflessness. Those who knew her agree that she was even more beautiful inside than out. She will be greatly missed.
