Joyce Elaine “Honey” Leger Miller, 73, of Winnie, died on Saturday, November 30, 2013, with her family by her side. She was born on February 22, 1940, in Winnie, to Amelia Leger and Emile Leger.

Joyce, or “Honey”, as she was nicknamed by her father, was a devout Catholic who loved the Church, reading the Bible, and praying the Holy Rosary. She loved music and singing, working jigsaw puzzles and playing games with her grandchildren. She was an excellent seamstress and loved working with and caring for her mother. Joyce loved cooking and was known for her homemade bread, pot pies, and okra and tomatoes. She enjoyed traveling with her husband and kids around the country, and was blessed to visit many exciting places. She loved her daughter-in-laws and son-in-laws as much as her own children and they all loved her the same. She was the love of Wilbert’s life. Joyce centered her life around her family, her husband, her parents, her brothers, and sisters, and her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by all of us.
