She was preceded in death by her father, the Rev. Donald Carter; her mother, Maxine; her brother Steve Carter; and nephew, Mike Haller.
She is survived by her son, Tim; sister, Carol (John) Haller of Mt. Sterling; brothers, Don (Ann) Carter of VanWert and Mike (Sharon) Carter of London; sister-in-law, Debbie Carter, also of London; and several nieces and nephews.
Joyce was the former mayor of Mt. Sterling. She was the pianist for the Church of Christ In Christian Union in Mt. Sterling. She really loved her church family. The family would like to thank the Church and all the neighbors for their thoughts and prayers, and also for all the food extended to the family. What a wonderful town Mt. Sterling is in a time of need!
