Joyce Knight-Carter
June 5, 1944 ~ November 5, 2007
Joyce was a devoted mother, wife, aunt, sister, and loving friend to many. Her perseverance and zest for life touched all that knew her. She lit up the room with her dazzling smile and spread laughter throughout this world with her clever wit. Despite illness and all that life dealt her, Joyce lived life to the fullest until the very end. May we find comfort knowing that Sabrina, Patricia, Bill, and Max are with her so she is not alone. Can you imagine the scrabble tournament in heaven? May all that read this be blessed and may all of you remember to Stop and Smell the Roses! She did. ------------------------------------------------------
