“Joyce is always up for a chat and brings so much kindness and joy to everyone around her.
“She has a lifelong love for animals – especially dogs – and over the years has owned an incredible 40 dogs!
“Joyce even used to show them in competitions, sharing her passion and care with every one of them.
“Here’s to you Joyce – 100 years of laughter, love, and wonderful memories!”
