Joyce Ray Huff went home to be with the Lord on Dec 17,
2022. He finished the cancer battle well with faith in God’s plan for him. He
is seeing the face of Jesus and reunited with the love of his life, Jean.
Joyce worked at Fabric Cutters in Floyd as a young man until
its closing. He then worked at MicroMetrics until he retired. He served his
church, Calvary Baptist, as a Deacon and in numerous other capacities. He
raised cattle on his farm. He enjoyed woodworking and created many treasured
pieces. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to others who needed his
help repairing or building things.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Jean; his parents,
Curby Lee and Gaynell Huff; and his siblings, Paul Huff and Shirley Sutphin.
He is survived by his children, Vicki Long (Dale), Julie
Long (Daniel), and Daniel Huff (Crystal). He was blessed with five
grandchildren who were the apple of his eye, Thomas (Jessica), Matthew, Sarah,
Lindsey, and Dylon. He is survived by six brothers and sisters, Jordan Huff
(Bea), Janie Stevers, Caroline Rue (Bob), Ann Choudhury (Sal), James Huff
(Pat), and Silas Huff (Diane). He had so many cousins, nieces and nephews that
he enjoyed and loved.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday,
December 28, 2022 at Calvary Baptist Church with Rev. Dan Agee and Rev. Graham
Mitchell officiating. Interment will follow in the Captain George Quesenberry
Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. prior to the
service at the church.
The family would like to thank the kind nurses and care
