Joyce Ann Webster, 81, passed away Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Owensboro to the late Gilbert and Edwina Clement Coy. Joyce met Doug Webster while working for The Wax Works and they were married in 1955; she left The Wax Works in 1957 to begin raising their family. In 1964, she and Doug formed Webster's Inc., a wholesaler of records and tapes. In 1983, they started The Sweet Shoppe, a candy store located in the Executive Inn. In 2000, Joyce began volunteering for the Golden Partners at the Health Park, where over the past 16 years she made several wonderful friends. Joyce enjoyed crafts ranging from sewing, crocheting, ceramics, and making greeting cards.
