After graduating from high school, she immediately joined the World War II effort by working in the financial offices of the Wilmington, N.C. shipyards with her sister, Maxine. As a young adult, she followed another sister, Juanita, to Texas and eventually settled in Amarillo. In her early career, Joyce worked as executive secretary for Blue Murrow, Inc. in Amarillo. She retired from the company as vice president in 1991. Joyce loved the people of Amarillo and was a charter member of the High Plains Food Bank Board of Directors.

She joined Kiwanis to work with her husband, Dr. Burwell Southern, in helping numerous youth organizations through the civic club.

She was a gourmet cook and loved nothing more than entertaining and serving elaborate dinners to family and friends. Her favorite restaurant was the Amarillo Club. She was well traveled and could turn any trip or vacation into an adventure. Her favorite weekend destinations were Santa Fe and Taos, N.M. She often invited friends and extended family along in her travels.
