Joyce was a graduate of Seagoville High School and retired from working at DISD after 17 years. She was the family photographer and always had a camera in her hands, we know that she’s standing at the gates of Heaven with her camera, waiting on her loved ones to join her. Joyce, affectionately known as Memaw to the grandchildren, was a very sweet spirited, selfless and gentle woman. She was a “giver” and cared for others, her family was her life and they will hold her in their hearts forever. Preceding her in death are her parents and brother, Donald Foster.
