Joyce's life was characterized by her deep commitment to her family. After graduating from high school, she dedicated herself to raising her family, nurturing and supporting her children with unwavering love.

She was a devoted mother to her children, Kris Winter, Amy Winter, Rose (Mark) Antcliffe, Doug Winter, and Brenda (Tracy) Zimmer. Her legacy continues with her grandchildren, Katie Winter, Lucas (Samantha) Winter, Taylor Zimmer, and Jody Zimmer, along with her great-grandchildren, Jacob Winter, Mackenzie Winter, and Carson McKelvey. Joyce also shared a bond with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Joseph and Delores Winter, and enjoyed the companionship of her special friend, Yvonne Winter. She took great joy in her many nieces and nephews, who brought light and laughter into her life.

Joyce is reunited in eternal peace with her beloved husband, Leon Winter, and her late son, Fred Winter, her parents, siblings, Thomas Ramsey, Richard Ramsey, Madelene (Ray) Winter, Roy Ramsey, and Harold Trisch, and her great-granddaughter, Jessica Winter.
