Joyce married Ivan C. Morrow on July 16, 1960, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Madison, Wisconsin. Joyce worked as a teacher for several years, then as a mother and homemaker raising her 6 children.

 

Joyce was passionate about children and family.  Her face lit up with joy when children were near.  She loved to spend time with kids doing activities such as crafting, gardening, baking, reading, teaching, and playing games. Family was the most important aspect in her life; she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Getting out and away from home, Joyce and Ivan traveled to Door County for summer getaways every year where they also watched performances by the Peninsula Players.  Joyce and Ivan took grandchildren to Yellowstone.  In their later years they took several bus trips to the east and west coast.
