Joyce M. "Gram" Norton, 74, was born in Washington, DC in 1940 to the late Alexander and Dorothy Sellner. She was one of five children. Joyce was raised in Prince George's county and graduated from Surratsville High school.

Joyce met her husband, Elmer through her older siblings in 1953, they were married in 1956. Elmer and Joyce lived in Temple Hills for their newlywed years, Joyce working for Hechts Company. In 1968 Joyce and Elmer started their family and extended it again in 1970.

Joyce stayed at home raising her boys and helping Elmer run his business. This allowed her the flexibility to be a "sports junkie" with her children; attending all their sporting events, she was always their biggest supporter.

Joyce was an outgoing, gregarious, caring woman; you "felt special just knowing her." She enjoyed her breakfasts at Joe's ElRancho in Clinton, crocheting and attending church. Her favorite time was spent with her family; carrying on the tradition of attending her grand children's sporting events.

Those who knew her will miss her contagious smile, her long talks and sharing photos.

Joyce was the beloved wife to the late Elmer Norton, loving mother to Daniel and David Norton; grandmother to Britney, Ashley. Riley and Keegan, great grandmother to Addyson and Brantin. Sister to Richard Sellner, Albert Sellner, Dolores Christ and Mae Connelly.
