Granny has been my safety secretary and savior even when I was fighting against her and she only had my best interest at heart and I didn't want to admit that she was right she has always saved me from whatever I got myself into and made everything ok no matter what and was wonderful for my daughter even when she didn't have to. I'm so lost without her here the way every time I was sick there she was with chicken noodle soup and a coke and when I have nightmares I could always call her no matter what time it was and I knew she was safe and right there and how much she sacrificed for me and Aleah no matter what I put her through and loved me unconditionally even if she didn't like me at that moment I always knew she loved me no matter what she raised me as her own and has been the constant stability in my life I wish she was here right now but at the same time I'm glad she is no longer in pain or struggling to get around or do what she wants to do she is with her friends and family that she missed so much and with poppa now you have your wings granny your at peace and one of these days we will find each other again and I can't wait to hear what new adventures your having and the stories you are going to have to tell us I know Mrs Dixon has been waiting for you and Mrs dot and your our Angel in heaven now I love you granny and you don't have to worry about Aleah you raised her wonderfully and she has been showing that she is so much stronger than I am honestly thank you so much for everything you have done for me and Aleah all you have attempted to teach me and the values you have installed in me

Joyce lived up the street from. She was AWESOME to me and my son. She was second mom to me and a second grandmother to my son. I will never forget when I was deployed and my parents didn't want to take care of their only grandchild. Joyce stepped in and took care of my son. I don't know what I am going to do with out her. I live in North Dakota and we talked on the phone alot. I am so glad I spoke with her last week. She sounded so good. I love her so much and my son as well. I am going to miss her. I know she is a better place.

The first time I met Joyce, I was riding the Shining Stars school bus with her to go on a field trip. She was the best bus driver around besides being the sweetest, kindest person ever! She was also the 4 yr old preschool teacher at Shining Stars Early Learning Center. Her calm demeanor always calmed the children down which is the best quality a teacher can have! Heaven has gained an Angel that everyone will love!
Miss you Miss Joyce!
Love, Miss Missy

Joyce was married to my cousin Donnie Martin. I remember her from family reunions, long ago, only, but she was always a very sweet lady and I have only fond memories of her from those days. It saddens me to learn that she has left us. May she rest in peace knowing that she was loved by many on this earth. Her children, grandchildren, family and friends will be in my prayer in this most difficult time. Darlene Richardson (Cotton's daughter)

I knew her as Mrs. Martin, my preschool teacher at RVCS, when I was 4 years old. My memories there have faded, but I remember feeling safe and loved. Her soft voice, sweet laugh, warm hugs captured her students’ love and respect, and I got to be apart of it not only as a child, but as an adult, too, when I spent my summers working with her at Shining Stars. It took me a long time to call her by her first name, but she insisted. She was encouraging and shared her wisdom and experiences with me as I studied to become a teacher.
She was such a proud grandmother, I remember Ms. Joyce’s excitement when Angela, Brittany, and Candace visited and attended Shining Stars.
I can only imagine the number of hearts Ms. Joyce touched while here on Earth, probably too numerous to count. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
With an everlasting faith, I know she has joined the choir of angels in Heaven. May your hearts be comforted with peace during this time of grief.
