Born November 11, 1935 in Thermopolis, Wyoming to the late Leslie Emerett and Mary Jane Barnett Owen, Joyce made her way to Owensboro due to her father working in the oil fields.

She left her job to raise a family and then returned to Texas Gas until she retired. Joyce was a generous, loving, family-oriented, lady with a great sense of humor. She also enjoyed sewing, crochet, and reading. As a representative of the Friendship Force went to Australia and New Zealand fulfilling one of her passions to travel.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Muffett also was preceded in death by her brother, Richard Leslie Owen and her sister-in-law, J. Ann Owen.
