Joyce grew up in Thomaston, attended local schools, and was the first graduating class of Georges Valley High School of 1964. Once out of high school, she married the love of her life – Orman "Alan" Poland, and they were married on July 26, 1964, celebrating 58 years of marriage.

Joyce began employment at the Lucette Boarding Home in Thomaston where she was a health aide. She then began working at McDonald's Drug Store in Thomaston for 26 years. After the store closed, she chose employment at Dunkin Donuts in Rockland where she worked for 30 years.

Joyce loved to go to lawn sales, her family said – If you needed it, she had it, if she didn't then she would get it! Joyce's favorite past times were dancing on Saturday nights at Echo Hill in St. George, and spending time with her kids and grandkids.
