Joyce Lee Booe
October 31, 1930 ~ December 21, 2022
Joyce Lee (Rolen) Booe passed away peacefully on December 21, 2022 in Denison at the age of 92. She was born to Anna May (Jay) and Swafford Rolen on October 31, 1930 in Bells, Texas.
Joyce was always putting others before herself, she was an excellent care giver. She was a wonderful wife, mother, mamaw and her family was her pride and joy. She had great love for her grandsons, but she had standards and expectations. She was a fabulous cook and chocolate pie was her specialty.
Joyce was a Christian and she loved her church, Faith Independent Baptist Church of Savoy. She was a people person who embraced new friends easily. She had a daily habit of calling friends to check up on them. Joyce adapted quickly to “smart phone technology” and gained a large Facebook following. She was also an avid sports fan and loyal to the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, and later the Dallas Mavericks, hardly missing a game.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Anna May and Swafford Rolen; first husband, James E. Sinclair; second husband, Emory W. Booe; and several brothers and sisters.
She is survived by her daughter, Kathy Harper; grandsons, Chris Harper, Jesse Harper and wife Nicole; brother, Billy Ray Rolen; and numerous extended family and friends.
A graveside service will be held on Thursday, December 29, 2022 at 2:00 PM at Rose Hill Cemetery in Bells.

She and I would always talk and laugh about the shopping trips to Dallas that I would take she and Shirley on. Such great times we had. Heaven has gained another angel.
Aunt Joyce was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. We would laugh all the time when we’re together! My greatest memory was the day she rode on the back of my motorcycle! I’ve never seen her have so much fun that day! I will never forget her! RIP sweet lady! I love you .
Rest in peace my friend.
For the longest time she was only grandma. Such a sweet lady and will be missed dearly.
Aunt Joyce was a very loving lady.I always enjoyed our phone conversations. She loved to see our grandsons. They didn’t know her very long, but they enjoyed seeing her.
She will be missed, I look forward to seeing her once again.
Ms. Booe was so kind, generous and the most loving person. She was loved by many in Princeton and the little First Baptist Church of Branch. She will be greatly missed but she was welcomed so lovingly into the gates of Heaven.
