Joyce loved and spoiled all members of her family, especially Donnie's grandchildren whom she would dote over and brag on at any opportunity. Joyce and Donnie's romance was a fairytale where two high school sweethearts were brought together after many years by God's providence, and experiences a 23 year loving marriage. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lawrence and Rachel "Nell" Hopkins, brothers, Guy Hopkins and Lawrence "Larry" Hopkins, Jr., sister, Irene Echols and her husband, Raymond Echols, and sister, Rachel Ann Cain. Other survivors include: Son, Greg Nelson, Austell, GA; 2 Step Daughters, Dana Rymer and Denise Elliott, both of Dallas, GA; and many Nieces and Nephews.
