Funeral will be 12 noon Monday at Village Chapel for Joyce Ray, age 73, of Gadsden, who passed away Thursday January 3, 2019. Reverend Tommy Marshall will officiate. Burial will follow at Clayton Cemetery. Village Chapel Funeral Home and Crematory is in charge of arrangements. Joyce Ray, married to the late Paul Ray, was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a caring and nurturing individual who loved to cook for her family, attend church, and read her bible. When remembering Joyce, you will think of the strong love and care that she had toward her family and friends. One of Joyce’s favorite leisures was simply sitting in her swing on the front porch with her husband and family. She loved planting and watching God’s work take place. She is survived by her children, Mistie Garduno, Michael Ray and Tony Ray; grandchildren, Rachael Elmubaid, Ethan Garduno, Matthew Slay and Ashley Gewalt; siblings, Elbert Medley Jr. and Shirley Salster. The family wishes to express a special thanks to Alacare Hospice, family and friends.
