Fremont, NE Thursday, September 10, 2020 What a special woman Joyce was! I have many fond memories of her from volunteering at the church Ice Cream Social together! She was always such a sweet gal and will be very missed! I'm thankful to have known her through our Presbyterian church!Malcolm Peters
Fremont, NE Thursday, September 10, 2020 Sweet Joyce was a favorite of mine at church, I have fond memories of her and her wry smile and little jokes we had together from the choir and in the fellowship hall working the kitchen and food events around the kitchen. Im glad that she is home now with her heavenly father, the covid shutdown in care facilities is heartbreaking. I pray peace to her family especially her sister Bev who just lost husband Donnie not long ago.
