ROBINSON, Joyce Marie Warren (Valdes), age 77, of Owensboro passed away Tuesday, September 7, 2021, at her daughter’s home in Wetumpka, AL.
She was a graduate of Western High School. She retired from Aleris (formerly Commonwealth Aluminum).
Joyce was a faithful member of Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, where she was the President of the Culinary Arts Committee, a member of The Missionary Auxiliary, a Decision Counselor, a Hospitality Greeter, a member of the Select Seniors Group and G.Y.M. Marriage Ministry.
Joyce was known to many for her stylish clothes, hats, shoes, and accessories. She enjoyed cooking, baking, visiting any sick and shut-in member in the community. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend who assisted anyone she encountered. She was known for her sassiness and didn’t mind putting anyone to work.
