She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Edward Miller, of West Salem; sons, Steve Miller of West Salem and Tony (Andi) Miller of Evansville, Ind.; daughters, Karla (Donn) Westray of Villa Grove, Ill. and Lynn (Marty) Hogan of St. Louis, Mo.; grandchildren: Misty, Amy, Jonn, Earvin, Kelly, Maggie, Don, Jack, Eddie, Peter, Alex, Zane and Maddie; eight great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

Joyce worked at Champion Labs for 30 years. She was a member of the Zion United Methodist Church and was known for her potato salad and blackberry cobbler.
To mention that Joyce was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan is definitely putting it mildly!
Joyce loved her family and was respected as the matriarch.
