Joyce Bernice Robinson was born January 17, 1944, in Columbus, Ohio, to the proud parents of Sybil and David Robinson. She was the second of three daughters. She departed this life on Monday, March 2, 2026, at the Laurels of Worthington. Joyce was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend whose thoughtfulness touched everyone she met. She lived a life filled with compassion. Known for her quiet strength and warm smile, she made people feel at home with her laughter and kindness. Her wisdom, laughter, and love will be deeply missed.
Joyce attended the Columbus Public School System. She was a fervent worker and always gave it her best. She was a building services technician and a dutiful culinary specialist. Joyce’s admirable work ethic remained with her throughout her career. She was employed by Bryden Place Nursing Home and selective companies until her health failed.
She is now in the presence of the Lord, where pain and suffering no longer reside. She had a selfless spirit and will be remembered by all who knew her.
Rest in peace, dear sister.
