Joyce treasured her family above all else and was especially known for her warm, strong hugs. Sweet, kind, and thoughtful, she had a way of making everyone feel loved. She especially enjoyed her gardens and flowers, finding great joy in tending to them. She loved walking along the beach and collecting seashells, especially at sunrise; collecting teapots; long, thoughtful conversations; and traveling. Joyce stayed active through swimming and walking, and she loved reading and journaling. In addition to raising her family, Joyce was a long-time executive secretary at Allied Kelite as well as Dunbar Armored in Baltimore. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
