Joyce (Joy) Browning Gordon

March 6, 1941 - September 25, 2020

Joyce (Joy) Browning Gordon, 79, went to be with the Lord September 26th, in Arlington, Texas, with her precious granddaughter at her side. Joy was born March 6th, 1941, to Grace Browning in Rosebud, Arkansas. She spent many years as a caregiver to children in Grand Prairie, Texas, and is still “Nana” to those people all of these years later. She was also a devout Christian who could quote Bible verses for any occasion and always included them in the many letters she wrote to family, right up until the end of her life. Mrs. Gordon is survived by her husband, Joe Gordon of Grand Prairie; sister Nellie Fleeman and husband Paul of Ward, AR; son Steve Hatley of Van Cleave, MS; daughter Connie Clampit and husband Gaylon of Flowood, MS.; daughter Candance Johnston and husband Nathan of Krum, TX.; and seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her mother, Grace, and brothers Cecil and Melvin Browning. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
