Joyce Jolly Obituary
Joyce Ann Jolly, born on January 22, 1966, in Cleveland, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2025, in Sardis, Mississippi.
Funeral services will be 2:00 P.M. Sunday, April 27, 2025, in the Martin Willingham Memorial Chapel of Wells Funeral Home with the interment to follow at Lehrton Cemetery in Ruleville, MS. The family will be receiving friends Saturday evening, April 26, 2025, from 4:00. - 7:00 P.M. also from 12:00 - 2:00 on Sunday prior to the service.
Joyce was a devoted caregiver and spent many years of her life as a Certified Nursing Assistant at North Sunflower Medical Center, as well as at various hospitals and nursing homes throughout her career. Her compassion and dedication to her patients were a testament to her nurturing spirit.
Joyce had a passion for gardening and was known for her remarkable green thumb. She found joy in caring for flowers and nurturing them to bloom. Her greatest delight, however, came from spending time with her grand-babies. Each moment spent with them brought immeasurable happiness, deepening the bonds of family that were so central to her life.
The family Joyce leaves behind includes her fiancé, Glenn Vestal of Sardis, MS; her two sons, Dustin Osborn (Jessica) of Batesville, MS, and Charles Osborn of Sardis, MS; her two daughters, Jennifer and Kasey Vestal both of Sardis, MS; and four grandchildren, Hunter Osborn, Bentley Osborn, Waylon Osborn, and Saralynn Osborn.
Joyce Ann will be remembered for her warm heart and loving nature, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and resilience. She is gone but will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her.
