    I remember Joyce very well. We were close friends at Ramapo High School in New Jersey. I found this obituary while searching for Joyce. We will remember her at our 50th high school reunion this month, August 2023. She should have graduated with us but left the school early to attend to family responsibilities.
    Joyce was a lot of fun. She was caring and generous. She had a big smile and a wonderful laugh.
    I will never forget her.
    Sincerely,
    Abby Stocks
