I am incredibly sad to share that Joyce Williams has passed away. Joyce was a forceful, energetic woman so it seems impossible that she did not outlive us all. This photo of Joyce, taken at camp two years ago, will always make me smile.
Goodbye, Joyce. I will miss you.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. I took a class from Joyce and Lizbeth Upitis once, and met Joyce on a few other occasions... I don't know what it was, but from the very first time we met there was a familiarity and recognition. I didn't know her well, but she'll be sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteSo sad... I took a class from her at camp in the mid-90s. She was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly one of the pictures that I kept thinking of during camp when she was in the hospital. I'm so glad you linked to it here for others to see.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss her.
Jess, I just found out about Joyce when I placed an order at Schoolhouse press today. What a terrible loss. I remember her best from her teaching me how to cut a steek. I feel awful for Meg, to lose such a dear friend.
ReplyDeleteJoyce was a pint-sized powerhouse and an inspiration to us all.
ReplyDeleteJust found out from Kim's blog....I'm devastated...
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to miss you Joyce....
Can barely even type this through tears....
