Joyce was a lifelong homemaker. Every one who entered the Salsman home, especially children, were instantly made to feel like they belonged. She had a deep love for her family! Joyce loved the outdoors and would take her kids and grandkids on nature hikes, climbing rocks, navigating the creeks, and trails, taking them on wonderful adventures. And when the weather wouldn't cooperate, she was known to move the furniture out of the living room, fill the room with leaves, or she would fill the bathtub with snow so they could be part of all the joys of the great outdoors while safe inside in the comfort of a warm and loving Home!

Joyce was a Christian by faith.
