Joyce was born in Koratty, Kerala and completed her early education at Little Flower Higher Secondary School, Koratty. At the age of 21, she completed her Bachelors degree of Commerce from Calicut University. After graduation, she started working as an accountant at Madura Coats. At the age of 23, she married her beloved husband Sebastian. She followed the path of many women of that time, and dedicated her life to caring for her family. She accompanied her husband to Dubai and had their three children. Later, she returned back to Chalakudy, Kerala to focus on her children’s education. Joyce devoted her life to her children and still continues to influence their lives.
Joyce and her family moved to the USA in 2015 and settled in Carrollton. In the short time that she has resided in this country, she managed to acquire a career at Walmart as a store operator, witness her son graduate from Hebron High school, enroll all three children in college, and host her eldest daughter’s wedding in Kerala, India. Joyce was a unique and caring individual who touched the lives of all who knew her. She truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures such as spreading laughter with friends and family, cooking and shopping. It is heartwarming to know that all of her love, tears, laughs and tender moments helped to shape the people they are today. She will be truly missed, but never forgotten.
