Joyce Hinson Anderson, 83, of Concord, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Thursday, November 3, 2022, at Concord Place.
Joyce was born May 2, 1939, in Wayne County, NC, to the late Rob and Maggie Hinson. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband of 64 years, Norwood Glenn Anderson; and six siblings.
After high school, Joyce attended nursing school before getting married. Then she became a mother to two crazy boys. She moved from her home of Wayne County to the Charlotte area before settling in Harrisburg, NC. After moving to the Charlotte area she worked at Wachovia and supported her husband in starting the family business, Anderson Uniform Company. Upon retirement she watched her grandchildren and later great grandchildren. Joyce, or Mawmaw as she became known, lived for serving her family. That was her greatest role. Whether it was aiding her husband in business, or cooking, or lending a sympathetic ear, or providing support so we could pursue our dreams; she did it all tirelessly. In addition to attending NewLife Church, she enjoyed gardening and shopping at thrift stores. She was the matriarch of her family, an example of a Godly wife and mother, and she will be greatly missed.
Survivors include son, Windell Glenn Anderson, and wife, Sheila, of Sherrills Ford; son, David Ray Anderson, and wife, Deborah, of Harrisburg; granddaughter, Shannon E. Bittenbender, and husband, Ian; granddaughter, Niki A. Miller and husband, Eric; grandson, Michael J. Anderson; great-grandchildren, Gabriel R. Anderson, Aubrey E. Miller, Brantley M. Anderson, Kinsley R. Miller, Tripp G. Anderson, Maverick L. Anderson, and Renee E. Bittenbender; sister, Lois H. Grimes; sister, Jewel H. Britt Halso; and several nieces and nephews.
