So many of the 'grand dames' of my childhood and teenage years have passed on. Joyce Waffle was key among them. She will be missed, as those long ago days are too. My condolences to the family and friends she leaves behind, especially her daughters, Teri and Stacey...and son, Gary. I hope all the wonderful memories you have bring you comfort and peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing Joyce by her name of Gram and GiGi. She was proud to be called both. A wonderful lady, who I was fortunate to know through the marriage of my sister Andrea to Jarrod Edwards, Gram's grandson. May she R.I.P, and know she has touched and shaped many lives through her kind ways.

I am very sad to hear the passing of such a great lady. Merv and Joyce were very good to my family as we were growing up. When I saw her I always gave her a big hug. Her laugh was infectious! My deepest sympathy to Gary & Brenda, Stacey & Bill and Teri & Richard! Joyce was also a fellow Preferred employee with my father John. She was one of his favorite Preferred Ladies! You will be missed for your spirit!
