Joyce Ann Gulley passed away on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.
A proud graduate of South Habersham High School in 1964, Joyce went on to carve out a successful career at UNISIA, where she was known for her diligent work ethic and commitment to excellence. Outside of her professional endeavors, Joyce was a doting MiMi to her Grandsons, Hayden and Clayton Phillips, always ready to share her time and love with them.
Joyce attended Welcome Home Baptist Church, where her faith and spirit resonated with those around her. She was an avid fan of the Georgia Bulldogs, passionately supporting her team with unwavering loyalty. In her leisure time, Joyce found joy in gardening, nurturing not only plants but also the connections she held dear.
Joyce is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Tonya and Michael Phillips, as well as her precious grandsons, Hayden and Clayton. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends who will remember her warmth and kindness.
Preceding Joyce in death were her parents, William Hayden Clyde Gulley and Wilma Martin Gulley; her brothers, Vernon and Clyde Gulley; and her sister, Irene Davis. Their memories will forever be cherished by those she left behind.
