Joyce Ann Lloyd Gantt

Mrs. Joyce Ann Lloyd Gantt, age 81, of Pop's Lake Rd., Statesville, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday evening, February 18, 2024, at the Gordon Hospice House.  Joyce was loved by so many people and she loved with all her heart.  She was married to the love of her life, Boyd for almost 63 years.

Joyce loved her daughter, Lori and her son-in-law, Mike tremendously and loved her grandchildren, Tyler, Kelsey and her husband, Canaan more than life itself.  She loved the outdoors, especially working in her beautiful yard and her flowers.  She enjoyed fishing with her husband, Boyd and going to the mountains.  Joyce also loved running Pop's Lake for over 30 years.

Joyce had a big beautiful family.  She was the daughter of the late Edgar and Ruby Lloyd.  She had two brothers, Forrest and his wife, Martha, and the late Gary and his late wife, Rosa; five sisters, Jackie Harmon and her late husband, Benny, Carol Hendrix and her late husband, Gar, Peggy Clanton and her husband, Norman, Brenda Bell and her husband, Marion, Pat Kluttz and her husband, Wayne; and a loving beautiful family of nieces, nephews, and extended family members.  Joyce was truly blessed and will be missed so very much.

A Celebration of her Life will be held at 3:00 pm, Saturday afternoon, February 24, 2024, in the Chapel of Nicholson Funeral Home with Alan Kerley officiating.  The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at Nicholson Funeral Home beginning at 2:00 pm.  Interment will follow at Abilene Church of Christ Cemetery on Bell Farm Rd., Statesville.
