Joyce is 90 years young and serving a mission with the Church History Library. She was just a baby when she lost her mother.
Of the little she knew about her mother, Joyce knew she was passionate about education. Inspired by her mother’s example of earning a degree, Joyce wanted the same for her six children, 33 grandchildren, 99 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
So, at the age of 87 and even after being diagnosed with cancer, she said, “I’m going back to school to get my degree so when I meet my mom [after this life], I can say I got it.” After transferring 90 previous credits, Joyce started BYU-Pathway and is graduating with her online degree from BYU-Idaho.
