My condolences to your family in the loss of Loyce. Loyce gave me my first job in the bank when I was just a young woman with a family. I always thought so much of her. She worked hard and loved her family. May God comfort your family during this time and in the coming days. Prayers, Linda Simpson

Loyce was a great role model for me when I first started in banking in the 70's.
She was the reason I had a successful career in banking for 40 years.
She will be missed dearly, she touched so many lives and hearts.
Prayers for the family.
