Butch and family. Someone new has entered our eternal home. The heavenly gates have opened wide to welcome the one you love. We cannot help the tears that fall, our hearts need time to grieve when earthly life has ended and a love one has to leave. Yet at this saddest of times we know our Savior lives and we can trust completely in the promise that he gives that in glad reunion with the Lord, our loved one waits with
No More Tears Beyond The Gate.

My deepest sympathy to Butch and the entire family. I am so very sorry for your great loss. I celebrate the joy of being able to call Joyce one of my bestest high school buds at Villa and a dear friend for these many following years. I was blessed to have this âladyâ in my life and I treasure our many laughs, adventures and many memories. She and Butch were always so kind to my parents who lived on 34th St. in Latonia and they would always take time to acknowledge them. She was a one of a kind. I only hope a golf cart was waiting for her when she arrived at Heavenâs Gates!

I knew her for about the last 15 years and truly enjoyed her priceless sense of humor, her sense of fair play, her love for her family and friends, her generosity, and her delightful and infectious laugh. She shared that precious laugh a lot, and no one could ever feel down when she was around. God bless you and be with you through this most difficult time. Prayers of support to all. ??????

Butch and Family:
I am very sorry to hear of Joyceâs passing. In the years that you and I were competitors in the City Commission races, there was one of the wives that always treated me with dignity and respect, and that was Joyce. And believe me, I appreciated that.
God Bless!

The picture you have chosen for Joyce's obituary is exactly the way I'll always remember her. I had the privilege of knowing Joyce through golf. She always had a smile on her face with laughter not far behind. She was such a joy to be around. My heartfelt sympathy to all of her family.
