In addition to raising the family, Joyce joined the workforce including her 37 years at Zeller’s until her retirement. Joyce enjoyed her travels with Stan to many destinations including Europe, Mexico, with St Maarten being her favourite holiday spot. Joyce found great joy in visiting with her family and friends and when she wasn’t too busy spoiling her grandsons she enjoyed having coffee and visiting with her two best friends Linda Moore and Bernie Hourd.
