Joyce worked at Truman Restorative Center until closure in 2004. She retired from Lutheran Senior Services. She loved casino trips, slot machines, houseplants, flowers, and family gatherings. She was a foodie and enjoyed cooking.
Joyce did not wish for a service, so there will be an intimate family gathering.
Rest in Peace my Beautiful Cousin. I love you! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Joyce in person. She called me one day many years ago and we struck up a relationship. We shared tidbits of information about each other, but most importantly, she dubbed the phrase ‘Double Cousin’ for me. Her insight into our shared family history was and continues to be invaluable to me. Joyce was extremely sweet, kind and thoughtful. Looking at the beautiful pictures shared in the memoriam make me feel even closer to her. Her face is as sweet and kind as her gentle spirit. I definitely see the Snowdens. I see my cousin Bobbie Gulley’s sweet face in hers. I’m grateful that i got to know Joyce. I’m grateful that her spirit will join all the other sweet angels watching over us.
