Joyce Marie Langford

Mrs. Joyce Wells Langford, 84, a resident of Luverne, Alabama, passed away unexpectedly at Andalusia Manor on Saturday, November 6th, 2021. Funeral services for Mrs. Langford will be held at 2 PM on Monday, November 8th, at Spring Hill South Baptist Church with Rev. Kenny Horn officiating.

Mrs. Langford received her Associate's of Science degree in Radiology and went on to work at Crenshaw Community Hospital for over 20 years as an x-ray technician. She also worked in the same position for Dr. Charles Tompkins for several years. In her free time, she loved exploring her creative side through her sewing. She also loved being outside tending to her beautiful garden, which was always one of the prettiest in the neighborhood. She was an avid reader, always on the hunt for a new novel to indulge in. She also loved playing dominoes with family and friends. Above all, she was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who adored her family more than anything else in life. She was a crucial part of their lives for so very long, and she will be sorely missed by all of them, but they will find solace in all of their precious memories made during their lifetime.

Mrs. Langford was preceded in death by her parents, James William & Elizabeth Bailey Wells. She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Ivan Langford; their children, Ken (Jane) Langford, Cindy (Mario) Ginebra, and Melanie (Greg) Foster; grandchildren, Kelli (Chris) Simpson, Aymee (Chris) Cruz, Lauren Ginebra, Allan (Kaitlin) Foster, and Adam (Tori) Foster; great-grandchildren, Jade Simpson, Kyra Simpson, Bella Cruz, Ellie Cruz, Katie Grace Cruz, Avery Foster, and Carson Foster; and her sister, June Judah.

Active pallbearers will be Allan Foster, Adam Foster, Chris Simpson, Timmy Langford, Terry Langford, and Micky Langford. Mike Langford will serve as an honorary pallbearer.

The family will receive friends at the church on Monday from 1 - 2 PM.
