Born on November 16, 1939 in Attleboro, MA, she was the daughter of the late Ovila J. Doucette and the late Gladys (Mann) Doucette.
Raised and educated in Foxboro, MA, she resided in North Attleboro for the past twenty years. Joyce was a graduate of Foxboro High School, and worked for more than forty years as a Secretary at the Foxboro Company until her retirement in 2000.
Joyce was a warm, outgoing and caring woman of strong faith and devotion. Joyce treasured spending time with her three generations of family, had a special place in her heart for dogs of every kind, and loved spending time on Cape Cod and at its beaches. She enjoyed travel as a younger woman, and was an ardent fan of all of the New England sports teams: especially the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins.
