“Lady J” August 27, 1950 ~ November 7, 2020 Ms. Joyce Ann Jordan took her rest on Saturday, November 7, 2020 at the age of 70 years. She was born August 27, 1950 to Blondstine Jordan and Freddie Wilson in Saginaw, Michigan. Joyce confessed Christ at an early age at Bethel A.M.E. Church in Saginaw. She attended Saginaw Public Schools and was a graduate of Saginaw High School Class of “1968”. She was a proud “Trojan”, never missed a Class Reunion or Class Birthday Celebration. After relocating to Detroit, Michigan she continued her spiritual walk at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Southfield, MI under the leadership of Pastor David L. Roberson where she was in several ministries and made many friends. She was employed at Ford Motor Company and retired after 30 years of service. She enjoyed skating, and her parties as she was known as “A Bad Mama Jama” (her family has many stories). Before Joyce took ill, she loved to shop and be around her grandkids. She had many titles, but her best ones were mother, grandmother and “GG” (great-grandmother) and whether you were or were not, everyone called her “TT” Joyce. She was a blessing to all. She will be truly missed. Ms. Jordan leaves to cherish her memory, her only son, Phalon D.
