Joyce was born on January 5, 1935 in Amarillo, Texas to Sam and Flora Sanders. She attended Hedley High School and married Toby Woodard on May 23, 1953. They resided in Hedley where they raised their family.

Joyce’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were the pride and joy of her life. The legacy of Joyce’s kind spirit, passion for sports and love of cooking will live on through them. Joyce “Nana” loved being surrounded by family, she enjoyed when everyone came together and sang along to the guitar. If you ever met Joyce she instantly became your Nana and she would make sure you left her house with a full belly and a cold glass of sweet tea.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Toby Woodard; two sons Raymond and Randy Woodard; her parents Sam and Flora Sanders; five sisters, Lillian Fowler and husband Jimmy; Oretha Potts and husband James; Betty McGuire and husband Charle; Jean Rice; Sammy Housden and husband Kenneth; brother-in-law Frank Lindsey; two great grandchildren, Joseph and Shaley Wootten.

Joyce is lovingly survived by her two daughters, Kim and Jonny King of Hedley; Twannah and Eric Hall of Borger; her daughter-in-law Nancy Woodard of Hedley; eight grandchildren; sixteen great grandchildren; one Brother Tracy Sanders and wife Sharon; three sisters Helen Lindsey, Tobytha Wiggins and husband Billy and Delores Simpson and husband Terry.
