My deepest sympathy on your loss. I worked with her, and have many good memories of her. I moved away, but came back, and Joyce was one of the first Southern Bell people I ran into. We had a good catch-up conversation. We would run into one another and chat. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to her family, who she loved very much. RIP Joyce.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Joyce was a long time friend and we worked together at the phone company when we were young. I was fortunate to live with the Davis' when I first came to Savannah as a young girl and will always think of her as another sister. May God bless your family in this time of need.
