She served in various positions in the church and especially enjoyed being a councilor of the Relief Society. During her life she had a love for horses and was an attendant to the rodeo queen. Joyclyn was always a caring and loving homemaker and admired the simpler things in life. She was a beautiful embroider, loved her yard and gardening and canned everything that she produced. Her specialties in handwork were the pillowcases that she did for all of her children and grandchildren. She bottled raspberry jam for family and friends. She always had a book in her hand and read to her children and grandchildren. Family nights were spent reading, playing board games, and putting jigsaw puzzles together. Her scriptures were always by her side. She made time to give thanks for the Lord's hands in all she did. In her later years she enjoyed Hal and the trips they took with their friends. She and Hal spent almost every hour with each other. They loved the time that was spent with grandchildren and great grandchildren. They attended their activities and rejoiced in their accomplishments. Every summer was spent with granddaughter Courtney, who was their companion and helper. Her love was great for her grandchildren: Heidi, Eric, McKenzie, Justin, Jared, Misty, Christopher, Courtney, Sarinja, Jaimy, Cameron, Tashina, Jamy, Nick, Cody, Kiley, Madison, Destrie, Britney; and great grandchildren: Derek, Cetra, Levi, Angel, Whitney, Bailey, Tyrel, Keagan, Shelby, Riley and Reagan.
