Joyce was born Feb. 15, 1943, in Vinton, Iowa, to Fred and Millie (Dodge) Aurner. She married the love of her life, Lyle Edward Schultz, on Sept. 5, 1964. She sold Avon products, making President's Club and winning many awards before moving on to bigger and better things: selling cars at Tauder Ford in Phoenixville, Pa., and then Alexander Ford in Murfreesboro, Tenn., until retiring in 2009. Again, she won awards for her sales and was successful in a field with few women.

Joyce was a collector of many things and found many outlets to encourage her habits, like couponing, flea markets, Avon Collectors Club and Doll Club. She was a Cub Scout den mother for many years. She also enjoyed researching genealogy and was a supporter of the Center Point and Alburnett historical societies.
