Betty Joyce Hershkowitz Fields

Joyce attended grade school in Congress and graduated from Wickenburg High School in 1946. She participated in all sports and was a varsity cheerleader.
To this day, there is always a Hershkowitz in the school district!
Joyce retired in 1982 after working 47 years for the Mountain Bell telephone company in Wickenburg.
She had a second career as a massage therapist and reflexology professional. She would travel to appointments with her massage table in tow.
Joyce was always ready for a good game of Bingo at the Elks or American Legion. She also loved reading, sewing, crafting and always had a new project started. If there was a good garage sale in town, she was there!
Joyce was an accomplished bowler and travelled with a team from Wickenburg to national tournaments. She and Larry played competitive softball. Her team was the Sarah Janes. She was very active in BPW (Business and Professional Women), and Eastern Star.
