Joyce was a devoted member of Frieden's UCC in St. Charles, Missouri, and retired after 23 years of dedicated service in the food services department of the Francis Howell School District. She was also deeply involved with her family’s business, the St. Charles Speedway, for many years. A loyal St. Louis Cardinals fan, Joyce was known for her exceptional baking skills, especially her giant cinnamon rolls, large cookies, and homemade rolls. Her greatest joy came from cheering on her grandsons as they raced quarter midget cars and played baseball and football. Joyce was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
