Joyce and Stephen had a flock of peacocks at their farm and she cherished the many dogs she had through the years. She enjoyed painting ceramics, sewing, flower gardening, farming and mowing their extensive lawn. Joyce’s passion was finding treasures and great bargains at Goodwill. She was sassy, funny and accident prone. Above all else, Joyce loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and they are the legacy she leaves behind.
