Joyce Hudson Epps, 66, wife of the late David Epps, died Saturday, January 6, 2024, at home surrounded by family.
Mrs. Epps was born November 19, 1957, the youngest of three children to the late Gene Hudson and Hazel Miles Hudson. She was a graduate of Williamsburg Academy and retired after thirty plus years from Santee Electric Cooperative. Even before retiring from Santee Electric in 2018, she enjoyed traveling and organizing gatherings for her family and friends. Generous with her time, talents and possessions, Joyce looked for opportunities to assist whomever she could. She was capable of finding a solution to any problem that arose and many people relied on her as a regular source of guidance. Joyce was a member of Hebron Independent Church and recently attended Millwood Methodist Church.
Joyce is survived by: her children, Eric (Tina) Holladay, Ryan (Suzanne) Holladay, and Angie (Chris) Brown; grandchildren, Alexis Holladay, Carson Holladay, Kaylee Holladay, and Olivia Holladay; sister, Claire (Len) Gaskins; and many family members and friends who were precious to her. In addition to her parents and her husband, Joyce was preceded in death by her brother, Steve Hudson.

I am saddened to hear this news. What a sweet, kind person she was. Love and support to all of your family.
I attended school with Joyce and we became friends. She was such a loving and caring person who put others needs first.I am so
blessed to have had the honor of knowing her. One more angel in heaven.
Eric, Ryan, and Angie, your mom was a very special lady. I am glad I got to know her in high school and when I taught you at WA. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Claire and Joyce’s family.
We are saddened by Joyce’s passing. She was a dear person. Prayers for the family.
We were the two Joyce’s in the class of 76. Joyce was one of the first people to befriend me when I came to WA. We spent a lot of time together in high school. We got together for lunch one day when I moved back to SC back in 2011 and it was like no time at all had passed. I kept up with her through Facebook over the years. I will miss you, sweet friend. Until we meet again.
Joyce was always strong in character and true to her word and beliefs. She will certainly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
I never met Ms. Joyce , but I met many of her beautiful children & grandchildren. She lives on in them. And she lives on in heaven. I believe heaven is more beautiful now that she is there. I’m praying for the family to be comforted by The Holy Spirit. May Deuteronomy 31:8 be a source of strength & reassurance for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. May you find courage each day to take another step… another breath. I think Ms. Joyce would want that.
Love, Becky 🌱
Claire, so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing! Please know that you and each of your family members are in our thoughts and prayers! Much love!
She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Our prayers are with the family.
Eric, Ryan and Angie, this breaks my heart for you. Joyce was such a lady of fine character and she will be missed. You had a wonderful mother and it reflects in her children. Love and prayers.
Angie, Eric, and Ryan,
So very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She had such a sweet soul. Prayers for comfort for y’all in the days ahead.
