Joyce was a graduate of Wellsville High School, Class of 1958, and remained an active member of her community throughout her life.

As a devout member of the Immaculate Conception Church until its closing, she served faithfully as a Eucharistic Minister, reflecting her deep commitment to her faith.

Her early career began at Hall China, where she worked diligently in the warehouse. Later, she became a familiar and welcoming face as the clerk at the local K-Mart Department store, providing warmth and kindness to all who crossed her path.

Her legacy continues through her eight grandchildren: Brian Elliott, Angela Elliott, Staci Elliott, Steven Elliott, Coral Elliott, Jeremy Pugliano, Maria Pugliano, and Ashley Pugliano, as well as her 15 great-grandchildren. Her memories are also cherished by her godchildren: Rocky DaLonzo, Lori Gooding, Tami Mason, Jimmy McCauley, Andrew Gooding, and Haidyn Chevront.
