Born in Lynchburg, June 21, 1945, Joyce was the daughter of the late Owen Terrell Coleman and Bessie Mae Kirby Coleman.
Joyce's life was a symphony of love, with each note playing a harmonious melody that resonated deeply with all who knew her. As a wife, her love was the cornerstone of her family's foundation, radiating warmth and creating an unbreakable bond. In her role as a mother, her love was a guiding light, nurturing and shaping the lives of her children with unwavering care and devotion. And as a grandmother, her love knew no bounds, creating cherished memories and leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her grandchildren. Beyond her roles within her family, Joyce's love found expression in the very walls of her home. She was a maestro of decoration, carefully curating every detail to reflect the rich tapestry of her personality. Each room bore the imprint of her creativity, a testament to her unique style and zest for life. Her home became a sanctuary of love and self-expression, a place where her spirit thrived and her essence was palpable. Her legacy of love lives on, a melody that continues to touch the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to be part of her life's composition.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one son, Anthony Scott Hackworth; and three brothers, Owen Wayne “Butch” Coleman, Ronald E. Coleman, Sr., and Marshall L. “Bud” Coleman.
She is survived by her husband, Mark Stinnett; two sons, Robert William Hackworth, Jr. (Stephanie) and Steven Todd Hackworth (Melissa); her brother and sister-in-law whom she was very close, Dewey and Betty Stinnett; four very special friends, Diane Dunning, Phyllis Carwile, Arnold White and Janice Gaydosh and a special great niece, Emily Daniels.
A graveside service will be conducted at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, August 10, 2023 at Fort Hill Memorial Park with the Rev. Bob Phillips officiating.
