She was their guardian and carried the responsibility of their safety (especially from turbulent weather) and progression through life on her shoulders. Hers will be hard shoes to fill.
Joyce worked alongside her husband most all her life, from a secretary to his multiple businesses all the way to an assistant home flipper and a home renovator. She was not afraid of hard work. She also obtained her real estate license and worked at the Center Family of Love in Kingfisher.
Memorial donations may be made in her name to the Hennessey Public Library with the funeral home serving as custodian of the fund. There are several reasons for this as before her eyesight became a problem she was never seen without a good book, she loved the town she lived in, and she loved taking part in helping the great grandchildren read and expand their literary knowledge.
