Joyce Loretta (Reames) Dickey was born on April 10, 1929 at Isabella, OK in the home of her grandma and grandpa Reames, to parents Everett and Leona (Roark) Reames. She passed away on April 13, 2016 in the Weatherford Living Center, Weatherford, OK. She was raised in the Fairview, OK area where she attended Fairview Schools. She went skating one night at the Isabella skating rink where she met the love of her life Kenneth Dickey, when she slipped, he caught her and then they fell in love.

Kenneth and Joyce married on May 12, 1948. To this union were born four daughters, Rhonda, Kenya, Leslie and Tracey. Before the girls were born they enjoyed traveling. They visited many states and one trip with friends to Canada. Joyce also worked at the Southard Cafe for several years then when they started their family she became a full time mom of what she'd say were “four active daughters”. She loved to sew, and made her girls lots of beautiful clothes, for Easter, Christimas, first days of school and many formals for Rainbow. When the girls were grown she started piecing quilts and embroidering quilt tops and made many quilts for family and friends. She was her grandchildren's biggest fan and loved every minute spent with them, and loved bragging about them! Kenneth and Joyce loved taking the family and camping. After Kenneth retired they took up camping again, many times with a group of their dearest friends at Canton Lake. Joyce was a member of the Canton Christian Church of Canton, OK.
