I am so sorry to hear about Joyce's passing. Back in the day we worked together to establish our volunteer fire department and spent a lot of happy times together. Jimmie and Joyce were always so warm and gracious, and I already miss the good times with them. I hope the family can take comfort in knowing that she is at peace.

So very sorry for the loss of Joyce Kirkendoll. Joyce and my cousin Jimmy Lee used to sell their crafts at the Van Buren County Fair. Every time I attended I looked for Joyce and Jimmie Lee and enjoyed our discussions on family and I learned a lot about the family. Joyce was always welcoming and kind. I remember all her smiles. Prayers for each member of the family.
