Joyce was born on Feb. 13, 1927 in Nibley, Cache County, Utah. She attended schools in Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. As the war in Europe drew to a close, she married her sweetheart on June 5, 1945 in the Logan, Utah LDS Temple.

Besides raising 7 beloved children, she served in many callings in the LDS Church and worked in the Ogden, Utah Temple with her husband for 10 years. She was active in the Flamettes (Clearfield Fire Dept. Women's Organization) and later was employed by William V. Wright, D.D.S. for 15 years.

In 1974, she was chosen Clearfield's Mother of the Year. Her favorite pastimes included crocheting, scrap booking, and especially family get-togethers. She also enjoyed traveling. Her travels included a trip to Israel, various trips with her husband and several with her children. One highlight of her travels was sharing a dream cruise vacation to Mexico with her seven children, their spouses and her sister Eloise.

She was loved by all who knew her and her service to others knew no boundaries. We will miss you Mom.
