Gay, Joyce

Joyce was born February 3, 1931, in McKinney, to Ruth Irene Younce and Daniel Allen 
Stockwell. She went to her heavenly home on March 25, 2007.

A memorial service for Joyce will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 31, 2007, at the 
First Presbyterian Church of Gladewater, with Dr. W.D. O'Neal officiating.

Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Rader Funeral Home of Longview.

Joyce filled her life with her love for the Lord and her family. Joyce gave her 
heart for 37 years by using her talent as a floral designer, working at several 
flower shops in Longview. Her personal love was expressed as a church librarian, as 
a Sunday school teacher, and being a good friend to many.

Joyce is survived by her husband of 57 years, Page Gay; her three children: one son 
and daughter-in-law, Joe and Dot Gay of Winona; and two daughters and sons-in-law, 
Christie and DeWayne Farrar, and Debra and Jerrel McBride of Kilgore; one sister 
and brother-in-law, Phyllis and Clyde Floyd of Wylie; one brother-in-law and sister-
in-law, Bill and May Gay of Euless; six grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

Joyce had requested that instead of flowers, memorial donations be made in her 
memory to the First Presbyterian Church in Gladewater, First Cumberland Presbyterian 
Church Library in Longview, or to Grace Baptist Church Senior Saints in Kilgore.

Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. this evening, March 28, 2007, at Rader Funeral Home 
of Longview.
