Joyce Bottoms was born November 11, 1958 in Dubuque, IA, the daughter of Thomas and Velma Dolter. She graduated from Wahlert Catholic High School in 1977 and attended Clarke University. She resided in many places including Coralville, IA, Johnston, IA and Flower Mound, TX, where she loved caring for her children as a stay-at-home mom for many years. After working various other jobs including Flexsteel, Dr. Cairns Orthopedic Surgery Center, and Village Square Daycare, Joyce started her own cleaning business. She was a member at Holy Trinity Catholic Church for many years.

Joyce was a caregiver at heart. An avid gardener and decorator who did everything with an artistic flare. She had a great love for animals and made a loving home for her dogs, Riley and Dakota. She enjoyed spending time with her children, family and friends.

Joyce is survived by her children, Jacob (Cathy) Bottoms, Stephanie Bottoms (Bobby Dhimmar) and Samantha Bottoms; her siblings, Judy (Dan) Vorwald, Gary (Connie) Dolter, Jan (Pete) Hutchison, and Jill (Paul) Reinke.

Joyce is preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Velma Dolter.

The family would like to thank the Hoffmann Schneider & Kitchen Funeral Home and Joyce’s loving neighbors and friends.
