Joyce loved many people and they loved her; many people called her Mom, Grandmother, friend and Aunt. I wished I could list each and every one of her extended family. I am only going to list a few of those people that were extra special to her through her time on earth. Dewy V. Goodnight "Rebecca", Sargent Major John Graben "Mary", Rex Osborn, Mike Osborn. She considered these men her Sons. Kathy Wallentine, Laurie Jones, Michelle Newsome, Janie Annette Elder. She considered these women her daughters. She never had a sister of her own, but she granted these few women the title of sister: Jean Curuthers, Hazel Lindloom, Myrtle Neumeyer, Grace Bachelor, Janis Jewett and Lucille Cheshire. Jean is the only sister that is left here on the earth today. Through these special friendships' she had many grandchildren, and nephews, and nieces. We would like to give a very special thanks to Chad Jones, for his unselfish care of Joyce; he gave three years of his life because he loved her as his Grandmother, without his help she would not have been able to stay at home. We also need to give thanks to Carlos, Nancy, Richard and Arden for their days of help and the love they showed her.
