On the early morning of July 17th, God sent his angels to quietly and peacefully escort Joyce to her heavenly home.

Joyce moved to Kansas City, Kansas, where she earned her G.E.D. Soon after, she attended Donnelly College and obtained her CNA. Joyce would eventually settle in Kansas City, Missouri. After 38 years, she retired from the health field.

Joyce had a strong passion for caring for people and strongly believed in the value of family. She raised and provided for her daughter Jamie Coleman and bonus daughter Lerita (Cortez) Battle. Her love for family and friends is well known. Joyce has touched the lives of many, including her grandchildren Quinten R. King (Melah), Landon W. King, bonus grandchildren Rae'Vyonne Morrow, Quandale Bowden, Dalequan Bowden, Ja'Vaughn Morrow, Zion and her great grandson, Naasir (ZZ) King.

One aunt, Gay Daphne Suber, a host of nieces and nephews, a long line of cousins, and her best friend since the age of 4, Gayle Bumpus Witherspoon.
