Joyce was born April 4, 1936, in Ringwood to Joseph Lester Stricker and Martha "Mattie" Koons Stricker, the youngest of 11 children. Joyce was an aunt two months before she was born. She grew up south of Ringwood, attending Cimarron Valley Elementary School and graduating from Ringwood High School in 1954. Joyce then attended business school in Oklahoma City.

She married Ernest Rexroat in 1955 and began a life as a homemaker and mother of three children. Joyce had one son, Keith Rexroat and wife Denise of Ringwood; two daugthers, Marilyn Bloyd and husband Kent and Barbara Rexroat, both of Aline. She had four grandchildren, Matt Rexroat and wife Lisa, Andrea Rexroat and husband Charles Hinton, all of Memphis, Tenn., area, Oscar Bloyd and wife Jami of Oklahoma City and Crystal Bloyd of Enid. Joyce also loved her four great-grandchildren, Abigail Rexroat, Brandon Hinton, Aubrey Oldham and Cayden Bloyd.

She was then employed at Kmart as a sales clerk, retiring in 1998 as bookkeeper/office manager.

Joyce moved in January 2008 to Fairview Fellowship Village, where she remained relatively independent until her final health fight.
