Joyce worked 45 years as a server at the T & C where she was affectionately known as Mother. Her hobbies were many. Her beautiful gardens were where she enjoyed her time at home the most. She loved yard saleing and was exceptionally skilled at knitting, sewing and crocheting, with most of her work made with love for family and friends. She had traveled to many Caribbean Islands and Mexico and loved her annual vacations to Washington State and British Columbia to visit her daughters. She was an active member of Curves until recently. She leaves behind her husband, Kenneth Dickinson, her son Kevin Dickinson of Franconia, NH; daughter Heather Stiles and partner Kim Garl of Home Valley, WA, daughter Debbie Keating and husband Gary, granddaughter Melissa and grandson Grant Keating of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. At the request of Joyce, there will be no calling hours or services. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, August 17 at the Mahoosuc Inn in Milan, NH at 3 PM. Those wishing, please bring a flower of your choice to be added to memory bouquets being created at the celebration. Arrangements are by the Bryant Funeral Homes.
