Joyce Roderigues, age 79 of N. Dighton, peacefully passed away on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at Catholic Memorial Home. Born in Fall River, Joyce was the daughter of the late Henry D. and Edith (Machado) Amaral.

After graduating from high school, Joyce began her bookkeeping career with Cox Paper Co. where she was a valued employee for 37 years. Some of her favorite pastimes were camping seasonally at Forge Pond for many years and also at Grindell's Campground on the Cape. She also loved the beach and doing crossword puzzles.

Joyce loved spending time with her family. She is survived by her four siblings: Twins Lois Bergeron of Fall River & Richard Amaral of Warwick, RI, Nancy Wheeler of Hyannis, MA, and Susan L. Berube of Fall River; and her greatest joy, were her many nieces and nephews.
