On October 22, 1953, Joyce married Harold Juber at American Lutheran Church in Melvin. The couple lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for two years while Harold was in the Air Force. They returned to Melvin in 1955 to raise their family and rejoin the family business. Harold passed away on June 29, 1991, and in 2005, Joyce moved to Dubuque.
