Hyde Park

Joyce Flanders, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2023, in Morrisville. Born on August 12, 1925, in Johnson.  Joyce spent her entire career as a healthcare worker. She was a loving and caring person.   

Joyce was a family-oriented person who cherished gatherings with her loved ones. Her warm and inviting home was always open to friends and family. Known for her sewing skills, she dedicated countless hours to stitching and hemming clothing for her loved ones. Furthermore, she delighted in baking delicious chocolate chip cookies that brought smiles to the faces of her grandchildren.

Nature held a special place in Joyce's heart. She had a green thumb when it came to tending to plants and vegetables. Spending time outdoors was a joy for her, especially when she had the chance to observe deer and birds in their natural habitat.
