I remember one year when Liberty was playing at Woodruff. Woodruff had a tall chainlink fence all the way around the field, separating the stands from the field. We had a good team and a great player named Tron Jackson and Liberty WON! When the buzzer sounded ending the game, Joyce climbed that fence like she did it everyday, she hesitated a second at the top of the fence, then dropped over into Coach Patterson's waiting arms. It was a beautiful picture of their love and their pride in their team. I was blessed to know such a sweet precious soul! May God flood your mind with sweet memories just when you miss her most. Prayers and love to the family. What a grand reunion day there will be when we all get to heaven!

Joyce was such a sweetie. She was all her obituary says and more. I pray for each member of the family and those who loved her. We do not have to guess where she is because God was her Savior and she is with him now. We love the Patterson family and ask God to wrap His arms of love around each of you and may God get the glory in this homegoing.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
