Joyce was born October 8, 1938 in Waco, Tx.
She was preceded in death by her parents George Wilson & Velma Aline Brink Herbelin, her husband Harrell Lewis Green and brother in law Jack Barlow.
She is survived by her siblings David Wilson & Minnie Belle Herbelin, Donald Joe & Cyndee Herbelin, Clarence Durwood & Karen Herbelin, Linda Carol & Byron Eastburn, Herschel Benjamin & Susan Herbelin, Sharon Ann Barlow, her children Deborah Joy Green, Don Alden & Nancy Green, Steven Lewis & Meana Green, Leah Rachelle & Russell Cox, Jeremy Dale & Chelly Green, her grandchildren Heith Ashley Green, Jonathan David Green, James Bradley Zimmerman, Stevie Lynn & Jacob Anderson, Hannah Elizabeth Green, Lauren Taylor Schlee, Caleb Ross Green, Brittney Nicole Cox & Jadie Madison Green, and her numerous nieces & nephews.
She was a beloved mother who loved to laugh and play to win at cards with her many friends, siblings, cousins & grandchildren. She was a wonderful example to so many by her faith, not only by her words but by her works. So many can attribute their relationship with Jehovah to the actions of both Joyce and Harrell Green. They both devoted themselves to the kingdom ministry that spanned over 60 years.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the Providence nursing staff and Providence Hospice for providing excellent care during such a difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Providence Hospice, Waco.

"He will call the dead will answer, they shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing for the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever, as the work of his own hand."
