On August 28, 1953, she married the love of her life, Andrew (Andy) L. Lindvig at Olivet Lutheran Church. In 1954, they began building their cottage on Little Detroit Lake, where she loved spending time with her family. Her hobbies were numerous including bowling, bridge, golfing, reading, gardening, canning, cooking and entertaining at the lake, as well as raising their two children. Joyce loved being involved at First Lutheran Church. She was a member of the Abigail Circle and served on various committees, including being instrumental in establishing a church youth program.
