To the wonderful Patton family: Chris and I arrived home from vacation to read of Joyce’s passing. I was blessed to be able to talk with Joyce and you, Glenn, a couple weeks prior and catch up on your children and grandchildren. I shared our reminiscing with our 3 sons especially Brett. Joyce truly lived for her family and her smile as she talked of her grandchildren will be cemented in my brain. She went too soon but she appeared to enjoy her life immensely!

Our condolences

Jan, Chris and our 3 sons

Dear Glenn and family you have my sincere condolences.Joyce was a great person in your lives AND MANY and now you have a GREAT GUARDIAN ANGEL watching over you all.. GOD SPEED FOR JOYCE AND PEACE FOR ALL

Glenn and family: We are so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. You are in our deepest thoughts and prayers and we pray for healing from your loss.

Dear Glenn and Family,

We were so sorry to hear about Joyce but have fond memories of her joyful spirit.

I remember when we first arrived in Iowa City, Joyce took the time to drive me around and show me the sights as she searched for knee socks for Marcia at KMart. Yes, KMart was one of the sites on the tour.

May her memory give you comfort in these difficult times.

Debbie and Tom Dunn

Dear Glenn and family,

We are forever thankful for knowing Joyce. She was a most gracious hostess. We will always cherish memories of her. Friendship, fun, food, bonfires and always near the water, those are what we think of when we think of Joyce.

With sympathy and love,

Becky and Bob Hall

To Marcia and your dad and families. I am so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. All the Terry’s remember her well and hope the wonderful memories you keep close will give you great comfort now. Blessings.

We are saddened by Joyce's passing and want the entire Patton family to know you are in our thoughts. You are great friends.

Oh, I just noticed the sewing machine above Joyce's photo and smiled! Everything about this obituary is so perfect and inclusive and saying what Joyce would have shared. We both miss her so much and have her photo as our screen saver on the iMac so I see her every day. We will be thinking about you ALL this Friday from 3-6 pm CT while you're gathering to share special stories about Joyce. Sorry we can't be there but we hope to see you in Littleton, MA, when she is buried next to her sister Marcy (we loved her too!) and my "second mom and dad", Joyce's parents.

Hugs to you all, Ken & Linda

My memories of Joyce are long and very sweet. She was so good to me and to my brothers. Sending so much love to you all.

My husband Les, my Mom Mary & I knew Joyce from Little Harbor in Florida. We always enjoyed talking with her at the pot luck dinners. She always had a warm smile and she was a lovely lady. We extend our condolences to Glenn & family.

We offer our prayers and sincere sympathy to Glenn, children, extended family and many friends of Joyce. We were personally blessed with her friendship and inspired by her love for all. Joyce was a special gift to Hillcrest Family Services through her many hours of commitment, advice, humor, friendship, and financial support. Thank you Joyce. We will miss you.

In these moments of loss, words are useless. God rest her soul in peace and the angels to always be there with you

Our hearts are broken, but Joyce lived such a full life and she deserved a loving end with her family around here. We will miss you, Joyce! You'll never be out of our hearts. You were my most loyal and loving friend for 59 years. Thank you, beautiful, witty, funny friend!

Linda & Ken
