Joyce was one of my best friends forever. We met in 7th grade and attended Amos Hiatt and East High School together. We were very close and if you saw Joyce you usually saw me. We graduated and never loss contact even though she at times lived miles away. I think of her often and recall all the good times we had together. She was a wonderful friend to me. Love and Prayers.

Joyce was a friend of mine for about 70 years. We met when she moved to Des Moines from Arkansas and moved into my neighborhood. Joyce was a true friend. We had many good times together along with my sisters, Virginia and Joan, and our friend. Norma Lane. I was so sorry to learn of her passing. I will always remember Joyce. She was one of my few long-time friends. May God be with her family during this sad time. I will be praying that God will comfort each one of you. I know Joyce will be missed, God bless all of you, Donnabelle Richtsmeier
