Tributes & Memories
My heart breaks to hear about Joyce. I worked with her at Blue Sky Behavioral Health in Muskogee where we had so much fun. I loved her smile an laughter. The care an devotion she gave to each client was so needed an appreciated. I will never forget the cookbook she gave me I still cook from it nor the Christmas animated Snoopy Piano that played several tunes. It reminds me of her every Christmas. She will always be in my heart an memories forever.Rest in peace my sweet Joyce. Sharon

Ed, I'm so sorry for your loss. I first met Joyce about 25 years ago. She was an awesome person and a wonderful nurse. I learned so much from her and will always hold a very dear place in my heart for her. May God be with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Dear Mr. Moroney: Although John and I did not know you well, you are our neighbors at Lake Tenkiller and enjoyed the summer party you threw a couple of years ago and the opportunity we had to visit with you and Joyce. We are so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know you both have been in a long struggle, and just know our prayers are with you at this time. Our sincere condolences to you and your family, and should you ever need anything, we are right around the corner.

Joycey's life was a gift, and I will always remember what a kind, lovely and doting mother figure she was for us, Molly's girlfriends. Her warmth and hospitality spoke volumes about her goodness, and she raised my best friend to be as tough and tender as she was; for that I will forever be grateful. My thoughts and condolences go out to the family during this time. Rest in well-deserved peace, Joyce.
