Joyce began her working career working for WKY radio in the 1950s and worked there for 29 years.  She completed her career by working for Lamar Outdoor Advertising in Oklahoma City, OK for almost 20 years.  Joyce worked full time until her retirement from Lamar at age 80. During her years at WKY radio she did a handful of television commercials on WKY TV promoting the TV and radio station operations. She was usually singing in these TV commercials and had a lovely voice.
