Joyce Elaine was a woman of strong faith. She was a spirited woman who was very generous and always helping those with a need. She and her late husband, Bill, were beautiful dancers. They loved to polka. Together they would travel to polka festivals near and far. Joyce also liked to go the casinos and play board games at home with family and friends. One of her favorite games was Farkle. Joyce’s greatest joy was her family, both immediate and extended. On Sunday mornings, her table was always overflowing with family and friends who would stop by for a cup of coffee and a dessert. She especially loved her grandkids and great-grandkids. Joyce was an excellent cook and was known for her applesauce and fudge. Those who knew her will always carry her memories in their hearts.
