Joyce who was known as Mom, Mamaw, Mamaw Hodge and Mamaw Joyce was dearly loved by all who knew her. She was a loving wife and mother, a waitress in her early years, a foster mother to many, later years a cook at Bob Evans. Her hobbies were yard sales, cooking and watching WVU football games. She enjoyed all of her family gatherings while sitting on her front porch having company and watching her great-grandbabies play. She was very religious and was praising God and singing hymns her last days. Her family will forever keep her memory alive with fun stories and happy memories. She was the last of her generation, a very beautiful, strong-willed woman the last of her kind.
Forever in our Hearts and Forever Loved.
