For Joyce, Our Lady in Red

Some people leave an imprint on your life that never fades. Joyce was one of those people.To those who loved her, Joyce was so much more than Alzheimer’s. She was funny, strong, vibrant, deeply loved, and entirely herself. Even as dementia changed parts of her world, there was always more to Joyce than what the disease could take away.To us, she will always be our Lady in Red.Joyce’s life became a powerful reminder that even as things change, a person is never reduced to a diagnosis. Identity remains. Dignity matters. Connection matters. Joy matters.Her impact continues through the people who loved her, the lives she touched, and the compassion, understanding, and hope her story continues to inspire for families affected by Alzheimer’s.Every gift made in Joyce’s honor supports the Alzheimer’s Association and helps advance care, support, research, and advocacy for others facing this disease. Forget Me Not, Joyce. We never will.
