Joyce was a graduate of Clintondale High School in Michigan. On June 11, 1989, Joyce married the love of her life, Kenneth Ormsby in Fort Edward on Ken’s family Farm.
For many years Joyce was an active member of the Living Waters Church of God in Saratoga. Even though her health got in the way of attending, she never lost her faith in God.
Joyce loved to socialize with family and friends every chance she got. She loved animals, collecting angels, playing Bejeweled, playing cards and was a woman who never missed a New York Yankee’s game, win or lose. Joyce was a huge supporter of the disabled veterans and would donate any chance she could. She loved her family most of all, being able to spend time with them was her greatest love.
