Joyce Ann Slye April 17, 1941 – June 14, 2026 With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life well lived, we announce the passing of Joyce Ann Slye (Dobson), lovingly known as Jo, Joyce Ann, Mamaw, and Meme, who passed away peac Read Obituary
Years after Joyce retired from Canon, I still think about the positive impact she had on everyone around her. She had a gift for making people feel seen—remembering children’s names and genuinely caring about our lives. No matter how much time had passed, speaking with her always felt like no time had passed at all.
Joyce was a truly special person who will be deeply missed by so many.
Sincere regards,
Tim
We feel honored to have known Joyce; Our families shared a lot of good times. Joyce knew that there was more happiness in giving than in receiving. She was a happy giver. She knew she had two hands, one to help herself, and the other to help those in need.(or even those not in need!) Love doesn't always roar; she liked quiet times with her tea & books; but was always ready to show love, and lend a listening ear. She knew family is where we are forged, our magnetic North, and where we fly back to for comfort & support. Joyce went beyond that by welcoming others into her family circle. Family is the sum of everything important: the sweet & bitter, the laughter & tears, the fragile & strong. She always looked into the soul of people, not the physical, as it is what's inside that matters, and that is what she saw. Nothing we love is lost. If a person has touched our life, an indelible mark is made that we keep in our memories and our hearts, forever.
Love, Lynn & Anne Perry
