August 26, 1937 — November 20, 2015
Joyce Faye Pannell Duncan died Friday, November 20, 2015, at North Mississippi Medical Center. She was born August 26, 1937 in the Mount Vernon Community to Clise Chapel and Bertha Faye Crouch Pannell. Joyce graduated from Tupelo High School in 1955, and attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. She married William L. “Buddy” Duncan in December of 1955. Joyce worked in Poultry Sales and Marketing as Office Manager and Accounting Supervisor with Purnell’s Pride and Schaper Co. for 38 years until retiring in 2003. After her retirement, Joyce and Buddy traveled and enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved crocheting, Bunka Embroidering, reading and researching genealogy. Joyce was an avid collector of many things, but loved her Gone with the Wind collection and took pleasure in hosting an open house during the Christmas season for everyone to enjoy her Department 56 Snow Village collection. She was a very active member of St. Mark United Methodist Church serving as Chairperson of Finance, President of Administration Board and various other committees and volunteered in many other programs the church held.
