Joyce and Jerry met in Ft. Wayne, IN where they began their lives together in 1960. They made many beautiful memories at their cottage on Lake James in northern Indiana with summers full of boating and sailing with their five children. During her early years, Joyce worked in TV/Radio advertising and was often credited with creating the most impressive jingle. The family moved to Texas in 1977. Joyce changed vocational paths and obtained her license as a real estate broker, a career she enjoyed and worked in throughout her life. Joyce loved everything about Texas and was proud to make it her home for the next 40 years. She devoted much time to the Houston Livestock Show as a committee member, as well as supporting the arts and the Houston Symphony. She was a passionate collector of coins, baseball cards, stamps, and books. Joyce was a voracious reader, easily reading 2-3 books at the same time. She supported animal rights efforts especially her favorite tiger and donkey rescue organizations in East Texas. Joyce and Jerry loved their sweet Aussie dogs, Max and Mac, who brought much joy to their lives. She shared her love of the Lord and her abiding faith in God’s light to all of those she knew.
