For the past 13 years, Joyce has navigated life as a widow and is the matriarch to her three children: Jodi, a professional at Blue Valley Behavioral Health in Beatrice; Dallas, a mechanic with United Rentals in Lincoln; and Dan, who splits his time between flying for United Airlines based in Houston, Texas, and serving with the Nebraska Air Guard in Lincoln. Joyce is also a grandmother to three grandsons who live in Houston and Bellevue.



Outside of the office, Joyce's joy comes from family gatherings and participating in events at the local Beatrice Eagles Club and the Vets Club.
