Glynda was born May 24, 1944, in Greensboro, NC, to the late John Lewis Joyce, Sr. and Margaret Ellington Joyce. She was a member of Stoneville Pentecostal Holiness Church. Glynda worked as a supervisor in food services at Morehead Memorial Hospital prior to her retirement. She loved going to and holding yard sales, doing yard work, and reading. She also enjoyed doing puzzles and word searches, and was a collector of Snow White figurines. Most of all, Glynda loved spending her time with her grandchildren.
Glynda considered her greatest accomplishment to be raising three girls on her own. She overcame odds and obstacles to ensure they were brought up to be accomplished, respectable, independent, Christian women.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, John Lewis Joyce, Jr.
