Loyce cherished her family deeply. They were the heart of her life, and she found immense joy and fulfillment in their company. A loving mother, grandmother, and sister, she leaves behind her beloved sons Mike and Adam Bearden: granddaughter Jacey Bearden; and her brother, Gerald Johnson.

A faithful member of Antioch Baptist Church, Loyce found great strength and joy in her faith and church family. Worship and fellowship were cornerstones of her life, and she cherished every opportunity to gather with her church community.

Loyce also enjoyed traveling, especially to Gatlinburg and the beach—places where she could relax and make cherished memories with her loved ones.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to her caregiver, LaShawna Matthews, and all of her hospice nurses for their compassionate care and support.

Loyce’s legacy of love, faith, and devotion to family will live on in all who knew her.
