Stacey Jo Joyner, 47, of Saluda, died Monday, April 3, 2023. She was born December 22, 1975, in Columbia, SC. Although Stacey suffered from cerebral palsy, she never let her disability distract her from chasing her dreams. She worked more than 24 years for Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina. Her coworkers always counted on her to brighten their day with her beautiful smile and electric personality. Stacey loved everything that sparkled or shimmered, which earned her the nickname, "Glamour Queen". Most importantly though, Stacey loved her LORD JESUS CHRIST. Even in her last days of sickness, Stacey had an unwavering faith and was excited that she would meet GOD and receive her new body free of any disabilities. It is Stacey's' hope that her determination and perseverance will live through all that had the opportunity to know her.
