Obit continued..... even more. It made her day to speak to her friends on the phone or have them come visit. Her love for her family was incredible! She loved her siblings so much; they were her best friends. Her late brothers thought she was something. Her sisters Dot, Addie and Shirley were her light as she lit up every time, she spoke with them either in person or on the phone. She also loved her visits with sister-cousin Lovey. With these 4 they would talk, argue, pray, and of course solve the problems of the world or at least Joyce thought so. She was the leader of the group, and let you know it. She also so enjoyed her visits with Reverend Boyer to pray or just to talk, and her visits with the Tuckers; Mary-Bell and Tommie. She enjoyed arguing and talking with her nephew Larry about the NBA or listening to her niece Sue come over to tell her stories to make her laugh. Joyce’s love with God and her faith never wavered. She was a God-fearing woman, and her faith was unquestioned. Once she had her stroke, she never complained or asked why. She would just say God makes no mistakes and he knew | could handle this. She also loved New Zion Baptist Church and her church family. The love of Joyce’s life was her kids and grandchildren. Her kids Derek and Tricia were so special to her. She never judged them and took care of them with her love, advice, and all things until her last breath. She and Tricia shared a special bond, love, and relationship, especially the last 8 years when they were together every day. Her love for her grandchildren was very special and they each had their own special bond with her. They were the apples of her eyes and the diamonds in her heart. She would always tell them; you can do anything and now GO BE GREAT!! She would always let them know to be good and that she loved them when she talked to them. Joyce leaves behind to continue her legacy her children Derek of Vernal, Utah and Tricia Broadnax of South Ogden, Utah; grandchildren, her boys as she would call them Kellen Broadnax of South Ogden Utah and DJ Frye of Gilbert, Arizona, her pretty girls Faith Frye and Hannah Frye of South Ogden, Utah. She also leaves behind her jewels, her sisters Dorothy (Dot) Holston of Ogden, Utah; Addie (Lowell) Norling of Syracuse, Utah, and Shirley (Leroy) Tillman Walker of Richmond, California. She is also survived by her sister cousin Lovey (Vernon) Hairston of West Haven, Utah, as well as a host of nephews, nieces, and cousins who she loved dearly. She is also survived by special friends Reverend Michelle Boyer, The Tuckers, Tommie and Mary-Bell, Queen Dorby and Charlean Wilson, and other friends throughout the United States. The family would like to thank Dr. Casey Stelter, Dr. Brittany Gardner, the staff of the U of U Stroke Rehabilitation Center, the staff of the Rocky Mountain Rehabilitation and of course Ogden Regional Medical Center for everything they did with our mom the last 8 years.
