Joyce was a true friend who always was positive. We met when we worked together at School District 130. Joyce was a mainstay in the administrative office. When I think of her, I see her smile. I see her at District 130. I seen her during and after mass (with her mom!) at St.Benedict Church and on Highland Avenue where she lived. Our community was a better place because of Joyce Walling. I always will be grateful for her contributions and her character.

Dear Family and Friends, Joyce was truly a caring and thoughtful person. I had the honor of working with Joyce in School District 130. She was always willing to listen and help others in her calm way. Even though we no longer worked together, every year Joyce would reach out to wish a happy birthday. Despite all her final health challenges, I can still hear her say, “It’s okay.” I am forever grateful for having known her wonderful soul. May her family and friends be at peace with the memories of her kindness. Sincerely, Karen Gordon

To the family and friends of Joyce... Please accept my condolences...So sad to hear of Joyce's passing. We worked together at Nathan Hale Middle School back in 1979 and a few years after. It was my first year teaching and she was one of two para-professionals assigned to our sixth grade staff. Joyce was always so kind, considerate, caring, and nurturing with both staff and students. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and a smile to share with others. It was a pleasure to know her both professionally and personally. So cherish the memories and take solace in knowing that Joyce will always be with each and every one us. Just smile and think of the great times had with such a delightful person. May God grant her peace and serenity for all time. Lee R. Talley Tinley Park (formerly Blue Island)
