Born in London KY, on December 17, 1937, Joyce was the daughter of Lindsey Herbert and Carrie Cadell Wilson.

Joyce worked for Reliance Electric for over thirty years before retiring.

She loved having fun. She went dancing and to the casino with her companion, Bob Willhite. They traveled around following her favorite band, The Smokin Jokers. She adored flowers, especially petunias. Joyce would never leave home without just the right outfit, makeup, and jewelry. She wanted to look good everywhere she went.

She was from a large family that she enjoyed spending time with. She made a famous banana pudding, and a Jello dish that everyone looked forward to eating at family get togethers. Her favorite restaurants were Cracker Barrel, and 88 Kings. She always said she loved feeling free.
