Joyce was born the youngest of five daughters and two sons of the late Ervin Cecil and Rosa Lee Eason. She lived all her adult life in Williamsburg Va, where her home was filled with family and friends nearly daily. Her energy was boundless as she raised her family and worked at the Willimburg Pottery Factory until her retirement. Her grandchildren were a constant companion to her, many of whom lived with her at one time or another. She often packed them in the car early on a saturday morning to a yard sale excursion, all the while teaching them ways to be thrifty. Joyce's lesson's to her family could sometimes be hard. She once smashed a Hot Wheels car that belonged to a grandson after he deliberately cut her living room chair, just to show him how it felt to loose something you cared about. But her lessons didn't come without love and devotion that extended also to neighborhood children who called her Mom and who knew she would have them a stocking hanging in her home when they came by during the holidays. Surviving are daughters, Debbie and husband, Jimmy, Pamela of Williamsburg, sons Ricky of Elm City, NC formerly of Debord, KY, Kenneth of Rocky Mount, formerly of Williamsburg, Jeff, and Larry, of Williamsburg. 14 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren. Joyce died at age 70 at Wilson Memorial Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer.
