retiring from Deerwood Fasteners in Huntersville, N.C. in 2009 after working

Joyce was an avid and talented crafter. She particularly
enjoyed sewing and quilting, scrapbooking, and cake decorating. Family was very
important to her and she enjoyed the life of a wife and mother. During the
holiday season, she delighted in the family gatherings and baking for her
family.

Lutheran Church. Her life revolved around her faith and her church where she
was a dedicated servant of God.
