Joyce appreciated her Kentucky roots and family very much.  In 1971, Joyce became a born again Christian and member of the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church, where she was active in church ministry, chalk talks, and her “Follow Me” portrait depiction of Jesus.  Joyce was an acclaimed artist, authored two books, and did silhouette creations.  She also dabbled in dolls, fur bears and mural painting. As well, Joyce loved working with red clay.  She was an outstanding decorator and worked as a Sales Associate at Colonial Heights Furniture for many years.  She was indeed a creative loving soul, known as “GRAM”.
