For us Joyce Paddock was a loving mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. We will always remember her love of family, her Izzy, horses, and the memories she shared and passed on to both her children and grandchildren. She was a strong woman. She enjoyed baking and everyone loved her chocolate chip cookies and macaroni salad, which she always kept around to share. She met the challenges of her last days with determination and laughter. Each individual in our family feels the loss of a beloved woman whom we hope to one day see again.~ John5:28,29~ Psalms 37:29~Revelation 21:3,4

I worked with Joyce for over 15 years at Humboldt Federal Savings. We shared the good and bad times at work; enjoyed the many office pot lucks and decorating the lobby for various occasions. We watched each others children grow up and shared the proud moments. Rest in peace dear friend.
