Mrs. Joyce Ann Perryman, a devoted wife, mother, and cherished member of her community, peacefully passed away at her home on Friday, December 5, 2025, at the age of 66.
Born on February 2, 1959, Joyce lived a life marked by unwavering faith, tireless work, and profound love for her family. She was a committed Christian and a dedicated member of the New Holy Temple COGIC in Slocumb, where her spirit shone brightly.
Joyce's work ethic was unparalleled; she often balanced multiple jobs simultaneously to provide for her loved ones, working diligently at area businesses including Aladan, Kingsford, Hardees, and McDonalds. Her resilience and dedication were an inspiration to all who knew her.
On August 1, 1998, she married the love of her life, Samuel Perryman, with whom she built a beautiful, blended family.
She was a devoted mother to her children Tommy Blandenberg (Tiffany), Joyce Elaine Tillman (Albert), and Latasha Denise Blandenberg (Kenneth). She also embraced her bonus children Comanechi Renee Smith, Samuel Perryman Jr. (Keiwana), Attica Thomas (Eric), Dedrick Helms, and Reshunda Henderson (AJ) with open arms and an open heart.
Joyce Ann Perryman entered eternal rest, preceded in death by her loving parents, Lorene Carter and John Henry King.
She leaves behind a devoted family who will forever treasure her memory: her beloved husband, Samuel Perryman; her children; and her siblings — Gloria Williams (Charles) of Panama City, FL; Debbie Boyd (Willie) of Kansas City, Kansas; Frankie Fagan (Isaac) of Slocomb; Jimmy Wilburn (Gussie) of Slocomb; David Carter of Slocomb; and Jimmy Lee Carter (Tina) of Slocomb. Joyce’s legacy also lives on through her many grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, each of whom was touched by her love and kindness.
Joyce’s life was defined by hard work, steadfast faith, and unconditional love. She moved through the world with grace and a radiant spirit, offering encouragement and warmth to all who crossed her path. Her beautiful smile lit every room she entered, and her absence will be deeply felt by her family, friends, and community. Her memory will forever serve as a guiding light, reminding us of the enduring power of love, resilience, and faith.
A celebration of Joyce's life will be held on Monday, December 15, 2025 at 11am at New Holy Temple Church, 818 S State Highway 103, Slocomb, AL 36375, with Greg Dempsey officiating. The family will receive friends an hour prior to the service. She will be laid to rest in Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery.
