Treasurer and Secretary at various times for the South Baptist Women’s Missionary Society.
Ms. Grier worked for many years at Richmond County Federal Savings and Loan and eventually
retired as a Vice President of Staten Island Savings Bank.
She was a wonderful hostess, especially at church events and meetings and was famous for her
great sandwiches and the best ever shortbread. She had a gift of recalling stories from her life
that were inspirational and funny and could bring a warm and comforting smile to your face.
Joyce was fondly referred to as “Aunt Joyce” by many and wrote loving notes when you needed
comfort, were sick, had a birthday or were grieving the loss of a loved one. She was a gentle and
gracious lady who prayed for all and was a true and dedicated friend to everyone, you were truly
blessed if you knew “Aunt Joyce”.
