Joyce Porter Lollis
Joyce P. Lollis, 86, of Simpsonville, widow of Billy Bruce Lollis Sr., went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, June 7, 2018 while surrounded by her family.
Born in Greenville, she was a daughter of the late Henry & Daisy Porter.
Mrs. Lollis is survived by her children, Bruce (Pam) Lollis of Mauldin, Mark (Kristin) Lollis of Fountain Inn, Pam (Mike) Barbery of Greer, and Tina Applegate of Fountain Inn; eight grandchildren, Hope (Michael) Johnson, Devon (Ronnie) Maxey, Brandon Godfrey, Joshua (Amanda) Godfrey, Victoria Applegate, Zeke (Tyner) Lollis, Dallas Lollis and Dillon Lollis; and seven great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, Bill, she was preceded in death by one son-in-law, Stephen Applegate; two brothers, Jimmy and Billy Porter; and one sister, Joan Goodnough.
A Funeral Service will be held on Sunday, June 10, 2018 at 3:00 PM in the Chapel of Cannon Funeral Home with Pastor Wade Leonard officiating.
The family will receive friends starting at 2:00 PM prior to the service.
Interment will be in Cannon Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to: Greenville Humane Society, 305 Airport Rd, Greenville, SC 29607.
The family will be at Bruce & Pam’s residence.
I have many good memories of “Miss Joyce” as she was lovingly known when she kept my children at “Miss Dot’s Day Care”. She never forgot them and anytime I ran into her in the years that followed she always asked about them. She loved children. I am praying for her family during this difficult time. But you have the assurance that she is with Jesus and suffering no more.
We did not know Ms. Lollis, but we know Bruce and Pam, and also Tina. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to all of the family members. May God’s loving arms be about you, and give you comfort. May God make smooth the path before you in the days and weeks ahead. Your friends in Christ.
Ray and Barbara Brown, Fountain Inn S.C.
Dear Lollis Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Joyce. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 25:8) God has also promised that he will return Joyce to you as it says at John 5:28,29 and also Psalms 37:29. You can also learn more about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org.
Sincerely,
Susan
