Comment: Grammy leaves behind many people who are so sad to say good bye. These include 3 children, 8 grandchildren, 2 great grand daughters, 2 sisters, 2 brothers and countless other family and friends. I have a cookbook of all her yummy recipes and creations. She was a wonderful woman and she will be missed!

Joyce was truly one of the strongest women we ever had the pleasure of knowing.
All our love,

Comment:
Our mother lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 40 years. The treatments that were available during the course of her illness, such as Steroids, NSAIDS and Methotrexate came with some pretty serious side effects. She also underwent multiple joint replacement surgeries and suffered many broken bones from falls. She never complained about her illness, but ultimately, she was disabled. Although, it is too late for her, it is exciting to read about the breakthroughs in potential new treatments for RA and would like to support that research.
Wonderful mother, wife, and grandmother. It was a privilege to have know Joyce. She was so easy to talk to, especially about sports!
Joyce's strength and endurance while living with this disease was a remarkable thing to witness.
