President of the Chapter of Ikebana 
International In Jamaica and a strong 
and committed member of the Jamaica 
Horticultural Society. As a young wife 
Joyce left the island with her beloved 
Harry to travel the world with the Royal 
Air Force. She never forgot Jamaica in 
radio, television and in print Joyce sang 
the praises of Jamaica while promoting 
Jamaica's flowers, music and food. Once 
back in Jamaica, after being away for 
almost twenty years no one could ever 
persuade her to leave again. " I left 
Jamaica once, I am not going again". 
Joyce was a true Jamaican patriot, a 
loving mother and a "super" friend. We 
will all miss her but rejoice in the fact that 
her suffering is over and she has "gone to 
meet her Maker". Please Join the family

Dearest Aunty Joyce. I treasure every moment we shared. From the 1960s in England to 2007 at your home in Kingston. I was so proud to introduce you to my children. Effervescent even throughout your "senior moments" I am privileged to have known you.
