Joyce also regularly made quilts for a neo-natal center at St. Mary's Hospital in San Fransisco, CA where she and her husband, Dr. Merton Goode (also a grad of MSU's College of Human Medicine) and a major donor to MSU, lived. On Sept. 23, 2016 Merton presented this quilt to the MSU Museum along with Joyce's obituary, photos of Joyce, and a news clipping.
