Joyce was a long-time member of Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas and a choir member for many years.

She is survived by: Her husband of 68 1/2 years, Ken Hardin; her sons and their wives, Wally and Vicki Hardin, and Todd and Barbara Hardin; fortunate grandchildren in order of birth, Kelsey Stallings (Jeromy), Casey Hardin, Kendyl Shrogin (Paul), and Karley Hardin; very fortunate great-grandchildren, Paige Stallings, Tyler Stallings, Kaison Shrogin, and Nova Shrogin; her sister, Charlotte Long and her son, Andy Prichard and his family; brother-in-law, Robert (Butch) Roberts and his wife, Judy Roberts.

Mom was a great testimony for Jesus and would share with anyone that would listen.

No public service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in her name to Samaritan’s Purse or your charity of choice.
