Joyce was such a great woman. Joyce saw the best in people. I will forever remember her smile! My last encounter with her was a few years ago while she was shopping. It was so nice to see her and catch up. To the family, I pray you find comfort in knowing your mother and father are together. Joyce was truly one of God’s angels. 

Grandma, you are the most beautiful, perfect human being. Inside and out. Words will never be able to explain how much I love you. I remember how you would always get us ready for school. You would brush our hair, made sure we brushed our teeth and had our homework done. You were at every softball game, every choir concert, every student teacher conferences, every graduation (head start, kindergarten, 8th grade and high school) and I always knew we had you through every moment in our life. You and grandpa were our guardians angels on earth and now you are our guardians angels in heaven. I am so thankful for you and the world can learn so much from you and everything you stand for. Rest In Peace Grandma.

I remember Joyce and George, as well as the entire Kester family very fondly. She was a woman of God and loved her family dearly! I cherish the memories made at Our Lady of Guadalupe growing up and will always look back with love and joy thinking of her and your family! She was a good one and will be missed!!!

My sweet sister in law, Joyce, has gone on to be with her Lord. Joyce was very active in the Our Lady of Guadalupe church. She always had a sweet smile and a kind heart.  She not only raised her children but actively watched her grandchildren.  She will be missed but I believe she is in a much better place with her loved ones who have gone on before her. 

I lost my cousin, my sister, my best friend. No one will ever replace her. She was the sweetest most loving person I ever had the privilege of having in my life. Her faith in God was amazing. She always had a smile and opened arms for everyone. I love you Joyce and will miss you and think of you every day. My kids will miss their Aunt Joyce! Rest in peace cousin I love you.  Terry and family. 

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family. We know her as Aunt Joyce, (my dad, Skips first cousin). I have never seen or known her to have a frown on her beautiful face. She will be greatly missed by all of us.  We love you,  
The Otis family
