Joyce Tollison's Obituary
Joyce Tollison, age 66, of Mableton passed away on January 17, 2021. Joyce loved puzzles, reading, and arts & crafts. She was especially passionate about painting. Her love of the arts drove her to work at both Hobby Lobby and the Mable House.
She was a loving wife in a marriage that lasted 38 years. There was nothing she loved more than being surrounded by her children and grandchildren every chance she had. From teaching others how to paint and cook, to just playing with the little ones, she was always there when you need her.
Joyce is survived by her husband, Ronnie Lee Tollison; mother, Hazel Crankshaw of Austell; children, William (Veronica) Ferguson of Lithia Springs, and Michael Tollison of Mableton; siblings, William Steven Crankshaw of Hawaii, and Peggy Kim Hartman (Mike) of Fairmount, GA; grandchildren, Stephanie (Kyle), Shawn Austin (Lisa), Justin, Jessica, Kayla, Bailey, and Addison; and great-grandchildren, James and Noah.
Funeral services will be held Friday, January 22, 11:00 AM at Davis-Struempf Chapel with Pastor Lamar Easterwood officiating. Interment will follow the service at Sunrise Memorial Gardens.
The family will receive friends on Thursday from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at the funeral home.
