We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Ms. Joyce was my grandmother’s roommate at Fleshers and we enjoyed talking and visiting with Ms. Joyce during our visits. She would tell me what Granny was up to, sometimes things that Granny did not want to be told and I appreciated that. I’m sure Granny will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
May God Bless and keep you.
On behalf of Mary Jones (resident of Fleshers of Fairview) and family.
Joyce was my mother’s roomate for over a year(my mother was Pauline Cooper)I always enjoyed talking with Joyce on the days I visited my mother. My prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.
Joyce was my Mom’s roommate at Flesher’s ( my Mother was Pauline Cooper ) for over a year; she was so kind to my Mother, and was always concerned about her welfare. We all enjoyed talking to Joyce; she was a gracious lady who was a true friend to my Mother.
Sincerely, Marsha Furness
My condolences to Joyce Porterfield’s family. Our family grew to care for Joyce as if she were one of us. She was a true friend and advocate for my grandmother. We have great memories of her and Bobba at birthday celebrations and at Christmas. I was truly saddened by the news of her passing.
I am sad to say i didn’t know Joyce during her younger years. While taking
care of her I grew to love her like a grandmother. I will miss her and there will always be a place in my heart for her.
