Joyce was born on August 5, 1925, to Clarence and Helen Meyers in Cleveland, Ohio and was married to Robert F. Bauman on July 3, 1948 in Toledo, Ohio. A graduate of University of Toledo, Joyce taught in the last one roomed schoolhouse in Brushy Prairie, Indiana before starting her own family of nine. Joyce worked hard at homemaking and always found time to open her home to those in need. A gracious hostess, Joyce created wonderful meals (especially pies) and encouraged everyone. Joyce's artistic talent was evident in her painting, ceramics, pottery, cross-stitch, quilting and even in her gardens. In later years, Joyce traveled with her missionary husband and supported him as they served their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Joyce's personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ was evident in all aspects of her life.
