Joyce and Carl ran a consignment shop and a flower shop.
Joyce had also worked at Jazzes Inn and Old Times, both in Clermont, the Clermont Pin Co., Iowa Turkey Plant in Postville, and Atwood in West Union.
Known as quite a prankster, Joyce enjoyed playing jokes on hospital staff during her stay in Rochester, Minn.
She liked attending parades, decorating, playing cards, watching car races and making sure everyone was well-fed. She loved to laugh, listen to polka and goof around. Most of all, she loved spending time with family and friends.
Preceding Joyce in death were her parents; her husband, Carl, on April 8, 2008; a brother, Gene Mabb; and a sister, Wanda Mabb.
