Joyce retired to Key Largo in 2003 after teaching at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School. Almost immediately she began looking for her second career as a volunteer. After working for a while in the office and nursery at Pennekamp State Park, and delivering snacks and supplies at Mariners’ Hospital, she began to devote her time to the boards of the Florida Keys Concert Association and the Keys Jewish Community Center, eventually serving as president of each organization. Currently as co-president of KJCC Sisterhood, Joyce believes in the ability of women to make the world a better place, starting in their local communities. She is also happily involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren in Hollywood, Fl and Highland Park, NJ.
