Joyce Annetta Winter Saye, of Rockwell, peacefully crossed over to be with the Lord, surrounded by her loving family, Wednesday, January 31, 2018 at her home. She was born March 9, 1937, in Wheeling, WV to the late Paul Winter and Ann Zednick.

Joyce was a devoted wife and mother. She had a very loving way of making people feel special and she never met a stranger.
