My deepest condolences to Joyce’s loved ones. I worked for a few years in the cubicle next to Joyce at the CRA and got to know and love her. As mothers, we would talk about our children. Joyce’s love and devotion to Nicole and Eric was clear. Their wellbeing and happiness were her priority.
Professionally, Joyce was a conscientious employee with integrity and strong ethics as well as compassion and genuine caring for others. I am saddened by her loss and will hold Joyce in a special way in my heart.

My deepest condolences to the family.
Joyce was a fun, caring and kindhearted person. She will be greatly missed.
I last saw Joyce in July 2024. She and a few other classmates were in WNY on a visit and the call went out for a get-together, as it often does when someone from our “forever friends” group is in town. Joyce often brought pudding shots to our gatherings (I believe Chandra helped with these). She always brought fun and adventure. She will be missed but never forgotten. Deepest sympathy to John , her children and her extended family.
My deepest condolences to Joyce’s family and many friends, John thoughts and prayers heading your way!
