She attended a country school close to home and completed high school in Malvern, Iowa. At that time there was no school bus, so her parents bought her a horse to ride to school.

Joyce was united in marriage to Jim Carnes on February 14, 1978 in Loveland, Colorado. They made their home near Mineola and enjoyed many years together until Jim’s passing which was six months to the day when she was called home.

Survivors include her children Steve (Cindy) Carnes of Glenwood, Iowa; Scott (Debra) Carnes of Valley, Nebraska; Katrina Carnes of Omaha, Nebraska; 13 grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and friends.
