They lived in Nyssa, then moved to Pasco, Washington, homesteading the first of two farms. The second was in Middleton, Idaho, where they lived for the next 20 yrs. During those years she, with her husband, raised their family, worked the farm and started a Land-Leveling business. This required John to be away from home for extended periods resulting in Joyce keeping both family and farm running smoothly. She eventually started working for the Postal Service in Boise, transferring to Greenleaf, ID, becoming Post Master there for several years before transferring to Homedale, ID where she retired as Post Master after 25 years with the Postal Service. During her years of service she was a representative to the National Postal Convention, holding offices in Postmaster Union for the region with multiple years traveling to various locations in the states & Hawaii. She also managed their rental properties. After retiring for a short time, deciding that she wasn’t quite ready to stay home, she took up the challenge of earning her Realtor’s license and enjoyed several more years meeting new people and assisting them. She enjoyed working with her flowers, getting up early to be in the garden, relishing her books, reading from all types of sources, visiting museums -perusing every plaque. She was continually curious about the world, it’s people, traveling when possible and working with the Republican Women’s group. Wherever she went she was always thoughtful of others. As an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints her whole life, she served in multiple callings from the Relief Society, Young Womens to the Primary organizations. With each calling, she would lend her calm, experience and assist wherever she could frequently voicing her love of the Lord and belief in her faith.
