FAU to hold Celebration of Life for Joan Joyce

FAU will host a Celebration of Life for Joan Joyce on June 11, 2022. The event will take place at the Delray Hyundai Deck at FAU Stadium and will begin at 10 a.m.

Joyce died on March 26, 2022, but her memory will live on forever. She was not just a legend in the softball world, but the rest of the sports world as she played basketball, golf, and even bowling.

Joyce was FAU’s head softball coach for 28 seasons. At 81 years old, she was still achieving milestones. Just days before she died, she became the 27th coach in NCAA Division I history to join the 1,000-win club.
