Joyce was born August 5, 1941, at Ponca City to Homer and Bessie Dollarhide Sloan and passed away Friday, July 28, 2023, in Enid.
Joyce grew up in Ponca City and graduated from Ponca City High School. She married Tom LeGrand in 1962 and lived initially in Braman, later moving to Craig, Colorado in 1971 where they lived with their children. They then relocated to Enid in 1976 where she worked as an Executive Assistant at Union Equity. She later became an office administrator for several doctors in Enid, where she used her keen attention to detail to serve patients in the Enid area. After retiring in 2005 they moved out to a farm in Fairmont, before later moving to Garber in 2014. She devotedly attended churches in Ponca City, Craig, Colorado, Enid, and Garber, where she played the piano and led Sunday school classes. Joyce loved the Lord, people, playing the piano, singing, and her family. She used her talents as a piano player and singer to join the Singing Church Women for several years touring across the country to perform. She was a beacon of light and hope to all who knew her, each with their own story of how she was a "mother", "grandma", "counselor", or "closest friend" to them. Her sweet spirit ministered to so many, and she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
Joyce was preceded in death by her husband (Tom), two brothers (Bobby, William), sister (Betty) and a grandson (William). She is survived by her children, Tracy LeGrand (Donna), Teresa LeGrand, and Tom LeGrand, six grandchildren (Mikki (Raymond), Mikayla (Colby), Noah, Elizabeth (Joshua), Michael, Salena) six great-grandchildren (RaeLynn, Aria, Olivia, Landon, Ethan, Chase), and a brother (Arnold Sloan).
Memorials may be made through the funeral home to the First Baptist Church of Garber.
