Marilyn Edenfield wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Martha, Mark and Michael, we send our love and sympathy on the passing of your beloved mother. God used Joyce's faith, personality, Spirit-given gifts, and love to enrich her married life, family life, Fort Smith community life, and the congregational life at First Lutheran. In the short time we taught at First, your parents touched our lives indelibly. Joyce gave a lot because she knew Jesus had given her everything. In Christ's love, Pastor Harry & Marilyn Edenfield (1979-1981, Ft. Smith)”
