Mother, i thought about you today
But, that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too
I think about it all the time
How  my life will never be the same
Because now all i have is memories
And you picture in a frame.
Your Loving memory is my keepsake
With which i will never part
God has you by his side
And I'll always have you in my heart
I love you and i miss, today and everyday

Joyce , along with Rose, were wonderful caregivers for my cousin Suzanne. They also took care of my mom who was lovingly called Aunt Clara by them. But more than that Joyce became family to us. She and I called each other cuz and even after bother my mom and cousin passed away she stayed in touch with me either by text or through Facebook. I think of her often and miss re terribly but know she and the rest of our family are watching over us.

My name is Mike perlman and i was the person who Joyce was taking care of when she was called by God to heaven Joyce had been taking care of our family and Frend for more than twenty years and she was indeed our healing comfort and more importantly our good friend her wisdom dependability and beautiful smiles were always appreciate and will be greatly missed by all of us the world is much better off for her being here for all the tremendous amount of good that is installed in all the members of her family and friends and indeed anyone who was fortunate enough to know her the world would be a much better place if we had more Joyce Witherspoon may her soul be in paradise forever rest in piece we pray for her family that all will be well Mike and Myrna Perlyman

My name is Rose Joycey was my sister from a another mother we met twenty years ago and we were inseparable we did everything together work we don’t work with each other i call my if there was a job we are there together you don’t see one with out the other i am now trying to carry on with out her but she leave me with all the tools and blessings to do so my dear sweetheart some days are good some very hard so much to say

My love for you will never change, Everyday i miss your contagious laugh, beautiful smile, distinctive voice. Beautiful beautiful beautiful soul inside and out. Grammy, everyday i pray that i live my life right so i can be able to see you again. You’ve always said i was your sunshine but honestly you were mine and since you’ve been gone everyday gets harder. I wish we had more time but you gave me a lifetime worth of memories and pictures. I appreciate you for forcing me to take pictures. You will forever be appreciated and loved. You’ve touched so many people, it only took one time for people to meet you and they would love you before you left their presence. You are special, unique, one of a Kind. There will never be another Joyce Witherspoon and i am glad to say i am your granddaughter Forever your Grammy’sPanties

As an adult and living miles apart from you, you remained just the most down to earth, kindest, and most lovable by phone and when we would finally seen each other. I am missing your inspirational bible verses, sending me pictures of family events I've missed, making me feel loved and missed, on holidays and birthdays through out the years. I will forever appreciate your last hugs, smooches, hearing your laughter, and seeing how beautiful you really were in person, on the inside and out. As a little girl I heard friends and family around me, called you Coco. So when I was little, I thought your first name was Coco. My earliest best childhood memory is us dancing together in Coney Island, at grandma Lue's. I will never forget you because you are of the greatest stories to be forever told. 

I ❤️ you more always Aunt Coco

Keep smiling in heaven

My dear Mother, you will forever be missed and cherished. Thank you for all the love and support. Thank you for being the best mother and friend. We laughed, cried, cooked, and shopped together. I will forever miss our Thursday phone calls that would last for hours, we would sit and talk like we were in the same room even though we were in two different state's.❤

Sissy, you will forever be in my heart. You knew me like no one else did. You were there for every moment in my life - good, bad, happy and sad. Every one of my daughters and granddaughters birth, my care taker when I was sick, you were the best maid of honor anyone could ask for. Most importantly, you were my prayer partner. I truly will miss you Sissy! See you one day in paradise.❤❤❤

I love you Auntie Coco and will miss you dearly. You wonderful presence and your beautiful spirit will always be missed. You were such a loving , joyful person, beautiful inside and out. I know that you are with all the Witherspoon angels including My mom Ann. Please give them all a hug and kiss for me. Love you always Auntie.

Joyce Witherspoon, 61, died unexpectedly on April 2, 2020 from Covid19. Her loss was completely unexpected, and the family was shocked and deeply saddened.

Joyce was born on February 23rd, 1959 to Jessie and James Witherspoon in Brooklyn NY. She was the third youngest of their twelve children. Affectionately nicknamed “Coco” due to her beautiful Brown Skin.

Joyce worked as a Home Care Attendant for many years. She took extreme joy and pleasure in attending to her clients. Joyce was a faithful member of Full Faith Christian Center where she served as a part of the praise team, accounting dept and most importantly, a Minister for the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Joyce loved praying and talking about the goodness of God.
Joyce favorite saying was “When you down to nothing, God is always up to something”.
Joyce was a dedicated Mother and Grandmother. Family came first and was above all else to Joyce. A value she instilled in all those around her. Joyce spent all of her time off from work helping family, friends and enjoying her grandchildren. The hole left by her absence is
impossible to fill.
Anyone who knew Joyce, knew that she was incredibly kindhearted. Joyce loved everyone and treated everyone like family. Joyce was everyone “Aunt Coco”. The cool aunt that was fun and full of laughter. The praying aunt you go to when you needed words of encouragement and the
only Aunt you call on when you needed help with anything. She had a cosmic passion for helping others and was always a source of positivity. Joyce’s family and friends will miss her more than words can say.
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents Jessie and James Witherspoon, her two sisters Ann
Witherspoon and Paulette Butler, her brother James Witherspoon Jr. and two nephews Sharef and Tony Witherspoon. She is survived by her daughter Tiquana, sons Gregory, Eugene and Lesburn, Ten grandchildren, Tazhay, Tyquan, Sharef, Tiziah, Zahmir, Elijah, Jamari,
Jaleena, Ava, and Katalaya
Forever in our hearts.
