Joyce was born in Waco on November 21, 1947, the daughter of Willie and Regina (Janek) Adamcik. A 1966 graduate of West High School, she continued her education at 4-C Business College in Waco. Joyce's journey through life led her to a joyful union with her husband, Raymond Dulock, on February 7, 1970 in West. Together they created a loving home in West, which blossomed into a hub of cherished family gatherings and unforgettable memories. She took great joy in attending her grandchildren's sporting events and school activities. A lifelong and faithful member of St. Mary's Catholic Church of the Assumption, Joyce served as an extraordinary minister and contributed her time to the CCE alongside her daughters. Her strong spirit was evident in her involvement with the Catholic Daughters of America Court #829 and the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women. Joyce cherished the simple pleasures of life-spending days at the beach, having her feet in the sand and water, collecting seashells, and canning beets and pickles.
