I worked with Joyce at the Hotel Magee. I was a mere cocktail waitress. She was a real waitress. Oh, was she terrific! I loved working with her, learning from her, laughing with her. She was so professional, and so funny. After I quit waitressing in order to do my work at Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble full-time, I made sure I would go for breakfast or dinner at the Magee when Joyce was "on". She always made my day.

I knew "Baggy" long ago, back at the Magee Hotel where she was waitressing and I was working as parking lot guy & cocktail waiter. But Joyce was so much more than a waitress: we have a still life painting of hers in our kitchen which has been hanging there for many years. And I recall a conversation with Joyce about the atonal opera, Wozzeck, which she liked, but at that time I was just getting into 20th century music. So I gave it another listen, and now its one of my favorites. And she was so funny! Jim
"Baggy" and I waitressed together at the Hotel Magee for many years. I loved working with her because she made it so much fun. Joyce had a wicked sense of humor which was dry, quick, and absolutely hysterical. I remember doing our "best" cockney accents when we waited on the British Bechtel workers who were building the power plant in Berwick. They told us our cockney accents were the worst they'd ever heard, at which point we dissolved into laughter. Joyce was enormously talented, unassuming, wonderful. Thank you for posting the picture of Joyce from "back in the day." She looks like a movie star, as beautiful as when I knew her. My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. "And time remembered is grief forgotten."
Love, Pat
