Joyce always kept a positive outlook on life and she had an infectious smile and happy spirit that stayed with anyone she was around.

Joyce worked many years doing computer records for hospitals. She married William Arthur “Billy” Tyler in 1997. Billy had a multi-year long project of building Joyce an open-top hot-rod car. Joyce loved to don her little top hat with her curly hair flying when she took it out for a ride on a sunny day. Her husband Billy passed away just 20 days prior to Joyce’s passing. Joyce was also preceded in death by her father in 2009, but her mother Emma survives.
