December 30, 1933 - March 24, 1990
Roberta Joyce Mezo was born in McLeansboro, Illinois in 1933. Her family moved to Snyder, Texas in 1948 to follow oilfield work. Joyce married Roy F. Trice May 28, 1950 at the tender age of 16 & 5 months. Joyce had 7 children, six of which survived her (Mary Jean, Kathy, Rick, Ann, James, Lisa & Larry) three were born in Texas, one in New Mexico and three in Rifle, Colorado where they lived from 1959 to 1975. She traveled to Brazil with Roy in 1975-76, then they landed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they stayed until 1986. Joyce never met a stranger and most people became her friend. She had many, many friends in lots of places, like Jimmie, Effie, Lynne, and she was my best friend. Joyce came to visit me when I lived in Holland a short time and we visited London together. She visited the Bahamas with Lynne. Travel, writing and family were her second loves, after Jesus. She died in Grand Junction, Colorado but is buried in Dad's family plot in Snyder, Texas.
