She was a strong, determined, intelligent, and sometimes stubborn woman. Joyce was an avid Elvis Presley fan, and enjoyed his music and movies. Chocolate was her favorite treat, and she was rarely found without a stash of goodies nearby. Joyce loved watching the Indiana Pacers play and rarely missed a game. She was one of the best mushroom hunters around and could sniff out the hardest to find morels. Joyce had many hobbies she enjoyed including playing cards and games with family, reading, doing jigsaw puzzles, and watching mystery shows on tv.
