Joyce Wolfe

Joyce Harvey Wolfe was born in Jackson, Mississippi June 2, 1940 to her parents Edna Garett and LaMar Harvey. She later moved to Chicago where she met and married Lawrence Wolfe at only 17 years old.

They were blessed with three children, Pamela, David and Yolanda. They travelled a lot in Europe while her husband was in the military. Once he was discharged, they returned to Chicago and raised their children.

In 1998 Joyce and Lawrence relocated to Raleigh, NC. to be near one set of grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling lots of places, but her favorite was Hawaii. She loved to go to California and enjoy her grandchildren there.  She totally loved keeping and watching her grandchildren here.

On Saturday January 27th, 2018 God lifted Joyce out of the mechanical lift here on earth and took her to a much better place with him in Heaven.
