INGLESIDE, Texas — On Wednesday, friends, family and fellow members of the Ingleside Garden Club gathered to celebrate Jean Joyce as she was surprised with a national award.

In August 2024, the City of Ingleside recognized Joyce with an official declaration of Aug. 21 as “Jean Joyce Day” to coincide with National Senior Citizen Day. Wednesday’s celebration also served as the conclusion to “Jean Joyce Week.”

“Her members put her forward because she does so many things for the community,” National Garden Club District 7 Trustee Gwen DeWitt told KRIS 6. “She does tireless work to improve and beautify her community and she devotes a lot of time at the senior center and it makes her a very special volunteer.” Ingleside resident Jean Joyce honored with national award for years of service
