She grew up in the Idaho Falls area and graduated from St. Gertrudes Academy in Cottonwood, Idaho. After graduating from high school, Joyce had the opportunity to reside in several states before coming back to Idaho in 1970.

Together they had two children, Kristi and David. They later divorced. Due to complications of Multiple Sclerosis, after working for RT French, Co. and Pillsbury for over 20 years, Joyce was able to take an early retirement. Joyce's two children gave her four beautiful grandchildren that were the light of her life: Zachari and Jordyn Rogers, Brooklynn and Taylor Byington.

She loved spending time with her family and friends and was affectionately called 'mom' by several of her children's friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Joe and Marjorie, her brother, Jerry, and her twin sister, Jean. Joyce is survived by her daughter, Kristi Rogers of Idaho Falls, and a son, David (Stacy) Byington of Rigby. Grandchildren, Zachari and Jordyn Rogers, and Brooklynn and Taylor Byington.
