She attended school in the Rudd Consolidated school for seven years. The past two years she was a pupil in the Osage school.

This year Joyce, as a freshman, had been a member of the twirling division of the band, a member of the girl's chorus and of the Girl's Athletic Association.

Although she was given such a short life to live, she was an active and willing worker, spreading sunshine and cheer wherever she went.

She is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Obert Nelson and her brother Gary; four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Barrett; her uncles and aunts, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Barrett and Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Kling; six cousins, Norman and Keith Kling, Robert, Tommy, Karen and Milan Barrett, and a host of other relatives and friends.
