She met the love of her life, David Capers, and they were married on July 18, 1964. They moved to Irving, Texas where they found jobs and settled into their marriage. Joyce worked for several major corporations in Dallas, Texas, including Braum’s Ice Cream Stores as a traveling district manager.

Joyce’s favorite thing was to spend time with her family. Once Angela and David grew up, she would happily drive miles to be there to cheer on her grandchildren in their sports events or she would be there to watch them in school plays. She cherished her time with her friends, finding joy and comfort in their company. She was a member of the Church of God from a very early age in her life, where she found solace in worship. Joyce will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
