JOYCE LUCILLE BALL

November 27, 1927 - September 26, 2017

BALL, Joyce Lucille, age 89, of Monroe, Ohio, passed peacefully from this earth to be with her Lord Jesus Christ and her husband and family on Tuesday, September 26, 2017. She was born November 27, 1927 in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. Joyce had been a Christian since she was 16 years of age. She married a minister, Billy T. Ball, and over the years they had served many churches in different states, including the Towne Boulevard Church of God before retiring. They were married for 67 years. She was presently a member of the Monroe First Church of God. Joyce served all the churches in many capacities, and especially enjoyed teaching her Sunday School Class for many years. She felt that her greatest accomplishment was leading her own sons and family to serve the Lord. Preceding her in death were her parents, Victor and Dorothy (Davis) Fields; her husband, Rev. Billy T. Ball in December 2015; and her brother, Kenneth Fields. She is survived by four sons, Thomas (Terry Lynn) Ball, Terrell (Norma) Ball, Timothy (Pauletta) Ball and John (Kathleen) Ball; nine grandchildren, April Ball, Angela Ball, Anna (Brent) Carmean, Lora (Aaron) Barnes, Micah (Lindsay) Ball, Timothy (Rebekah) Ball, Andrea (Craig) Jutte, Jesse Ball and Julia Ball; fourteen great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
