Joyce was my team leader at CRA. Outside of taxation, she and I had long conversations about fashion and always told each other about sales and deals. Those were the best parts of my mornings at work. She was an easy person to talk to, very kind and generous.
Rest in peace, Joyce.

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.

Joyce was a fun, caring and kindhearted person. She will be greatly missed.

Condolence from Peggy Queen on December 21st, 2025 7:32 PM

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.
