The Joyce White Memorial Fund, established following the overwhelming response to the "My Holiday Wish" project, serves to provide for the basic needs of families during their stay at The Salvation Army's Wake County Shelter for Women and Children. The Fund also provides up to 1 year of financial support for families successfully transitioning out of the shelter and into stable housing.

She was the most loved, respected and motivating monitor to work with the Army. Joyce was committed to the residents, the children and the Salvation Army. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, one son, two sisters and five brothers.
