Born in Boston, MA in 1944 to Joseph and Margaret Anglin. Joyce studied Nursing at Boston City Hospital and worked over the years in Maternity and Women’s Health. Raised between West Roxbury and Cohasset, she met the love of her life, Jack Mutrie, in West Roxbury at 14 years old. Jack and Joyce were happily married for 50 years until Jack’s sudden passing in November 2016. Jack and Joyce shared an extensive group of lifelong friends in West Roxbury, and through Jack’s job at The Boston Globe.

Joyce and Jack moved to Scituate in 1972 where they raised their family. They enjoyed spending time out on their boat with their family and friends and spent the winters in Key Biscayne, FL where Joyce spent time playing tennis.

Joyce is survived by her three children, John and his wife of Greensboro, NC, Jeffrey of Scituate, MA, and Debra Troderman of Brookline, MA.

Family was the primary focus of Joyce’s life. She loved to volunteer in her children’s classrooms, and she took great joy in her two grandchildren, Eden and Elias Troderman. She had the pleasure of living with her daughter and grandchildren during the last years of her life.
