Joyce Elizabeth Steele

Mom,

My heart is heavy with more love to give. Thank you for believing in me and  guiding me into womanhood.  

Romans 8:26

My J. I love you infinitely. I literally called you every morning throughout the years to give you the details of my life and find out about the details of yours. We had some real good old laughs and sometimes I called you crying and you provided me with your sound sage advice.  I'll love and miss you forever. My Grandmother. I remember driving to your house on Reeceville road in the middle of the night when i was upset. the door was always unlocked and i would just climb in bed with you and snuggle.  I love plants now because of you. My J. The best grandmother ever. We have shared so many memories laughs and insiders. I forget and start to call you in the morning...I'll just have to talk to you in my dreams. Love you J. 

 You always welcomed me and treated me with kindness, a shoulder to cry on or just a listening ear when I needed. A second mother to me, family when I felt I had none. You are so very special to me. I will love and miss you forever.

I worked with Joyce for a while and I enjoyed every minute I spent with her! Her smile and laughter were contagious. The world won’t be quite as bright without her in it. So r.i.p Joyce and my heart felt condolences to your loved ones!

My cousin Joyce will be truly missed. She was the most kind, giving and sincere person. I will miss our many, many, phone conversations.   We didn't see each other often but had lots of childhood memories that we discussed. We both grew up in Kennett Square and shared our early work history's. We discussed looking back a lot and that was nice.  We always ended our conversations with, "I love You". Now I can only say, So long for now Joyce!  "I LOVE YOU".

So glad I had the pleasure of meeting and working with this lady.She was a Great CoWorker/Friend who was a lot of Fun but also handled her business. Sad to lose Another Pepperidge Farmer. My Sincere Condolences To Her Family. Rest In Paradise 🙏🏾

I am thinking of my Dear Aunt Joyce. I can remember as a young child my mother telling me that my Aunt worked at Pepperidge Farm. I remembered thinking my Aunt single handedly made every cookie, cracker and goldfish. I would tell anyone that would listen. I imagined her wearing a white apron , arms out stretched offering me baked goods from a metal baking pan. Funny I still have these memories and thoughts while passing through the isles at the grocery store. On a trip to Pennsylvania my Mother , son and I took years ago Aunt Joyce opened her home to us. We ate seafood , stayed up late and had a wonderful time.  I hoped I could have returned the favor. I wish I could have more time with you. 
I Love you Always Aunt Joyce

To the family I was so sadden to hear of Aunt Joyce passing, I thought back on the times on Reeseville road n how much fun we always had at her house, so many great memories of playing cards, joking around, eating food, dressing up for All holiday house party's. Joyce always was so welcoming to everyone. Sending my love n blessings to her 3 children n families. Remembering great times, Ruby Harris.

April,

Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your Beautiful mother.

I love you and I’m praying for you and your brothers.

Love Tiffany

Well Sis you crossed the creek without me, but God willing one day I will meet you on the other side. My condolences to your beloved children and grandchildren.

I will alway remember my aunt Joyce as a loving and caring person who stayed hospitable.  When I had introduced her to my wife for the first time, it was like she had known her for years as part of the family.   She was my aunt but always had that motherly characteristic that would bring you back for more.  I will surely miss you and our phone conversations Auntie, thank you for being the strong woman that we all needed.
