Phil B wrote a sympathy message

“Joyce was my manager at work back in the 80s. A tough but fair boss, with a delightful sense of humour and a warm heart. Over the years I considered her a friend and was the grateful recipient of a framed watercolour by Joyce one Christmas. While we did not stay in touch over the years, the thought of her always made me smile. Love you, Joyce. To her family, my husband, David, and I send our deepest condolences for your loss. She was an amazing lady. Filomena (Phil) and David Babins”
