Waynesboro, GA – Joyce Ann Quick Braswell, age 74, of Waynesboro, went home to meet Jesus Friday, May 25, 2018. Her healing is now complete, after battling illness over the last few years. As she would say "What a day that would be, When we all get to Heaven".
She was a devout Christian lady who loved the Lord. She has been a member of the Waynesboro Church of God for 57 years where she taught Sunday School to children and helped run the bus ministry. She would get up on Sunday morning, go into homes, and dress the kids to ride the bus to church. Her mission in life was to witness to as many people about where they would spend eternity and to know about the Lord. She worked many years at Burke County Hospital and Georgia Regional Health Hospital. She was part owner of Raggedy Ann & Andy Day Care Center, and also worked at Brentwood Terrace Nursing Home. Joyce had a home day care where she kept many children in this town. She was the neighborhood "Nannie" to all, young and old.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Pearl Quick; and three brothers, Sterling Quick, Wallace Quick, and Ray Quick.
