A Life of Love and Service

Born and raised in Sutton, Joyce loved her hometown dearly, making countless fond memories horseback riding and cheering for Sutton High School, where she graduated in 1957. She married her high school sweetheart, Carl L. Greenslit, and began her career at The Telegram and Gazette.

In 1962, Joyce and her family moved to Homestead, Florida, enjoying the beaches, the Keys, and Fort Lauderdale. She worked as a secretary at Homestead City Hall and cherished her years there.

Returning to Sutton in 1980, Joyce immersed herself in her community and church, working at Wright Line and making memories with family at Hampton Beach. In 1984, she experienced the heartbreaking loss of Carl, her beloved husband.

In 1989, Joyce met Bruce Seaman, and they married in 1998. Together, they built a beautiful life, sharing summers in Maine, family gatherings, and many memorable travels.

Joyce was a lifelong member of Sutton Congregational Church, singing in the choir and playing the chimes. Her spirit of service extended to the community through 20 years of dedication to Meals on Wheels. Joyce's kindness, warmth, and unwavering love touched all who knew her.
