Joyce was born on June 6, 1938, in Kanab, Utah. She married the love of her life, James S. Cameron in 1960. Together they built a loving home and shared more than 42 years of marriage until James’s passing in 2003.
A devoted homemaker, Joyce dedicated herself to her family and community. During her children’s school years, she spent many years actively serving in the local PTA. She later worked as a secretary in the Alumni Office at Occidental College before retiring. In 2000, Joyce and Jim relocated to Morro Bay, California, where she embraced the beauty and community of the Central Coast.
Following the loss of her husband, Joyce continued her lifelong commitment to service by volunteering for many years at French Hospital, where her kindness, compassion, and generous spirit touched countless lives.
Joyce is survived by her three children: her son, Jeffrey S. Cameron and wife, Colleen Cameron, of Aubrey, Texas; her daughter, Jennifer Cameron of Morro Bay, California; and her daughter, Jill C. Segura and her husband, Dave Segura, of Los Osos, California.
She was a proud and loving grandmother to seven grandchildren: Matthew Cameron and wife Christina Leininger, of Mission Viejo, California; Christine Owens and husband, Ben of Laguna Hills, California; Corey Cameron and wife, Cailin of Aubrey, Texas; Ceilon Anderson and husband, Zack of Aubrey, Texas; Kevin Segura of Pasadena, California; Ryan Segura of Los Osos, California; and Amy Segura of Morro Bay, California.
Joyce was also blessed with five great-grandchildren: Kaelynn Cameron, Zephyr Espitia-Segura, Autumn Owens, River Cameron, and Declan Owens.
Joyce will be remembered for her unwavering devotion to her family, her generous volunteer service, and her warm and caring nature. Her legacy of love, kindness, and dedication to others will continue to live on in the lives of those who knew and loved her.
She was deeply cherished and will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
