July 8, 2020 at 3:35 pmLoyce Jones was always a person with a kind heart, good sense of humor and respect for others. She was fun to be with and she made you appreciate and feel good about the world. During her years of teaching, Loyce interfaced well with the students and never had a boring class. As a Science Department member, Loyce was a team player that was always wiling to work fellow faculty members.
Loyce Jones made the world a brighter and better place and she will sorely be missed.
