Joyce Lynn Guimbellot passed away Saturday, May 21, 2022. She was 75 years old. She was the daughter of the late Donald O. Neumann and Matilda Belle Brown. She married the late James C. Guimbellot and Vicksburg has been their home for the past 45 years.

Joyce spent much of her life raising her family, which was her greatest source of joy and whom she was immensely proud of.  She is survived by her four children: M. Shane Guimbellot (Maura Johnson-Guimbellot) of Hollandale, WI, Carla Jamison (Dwayne) of Vicksburg, Danea Guimbellot-Polk (Max) of Edwards, MS, and Dr. Jennifer Guimbellot (Dr. Sam Dalvi) of Birmingham, AL.

Neumann Jr. of Tampa, FL.

Although she had many hobbies, her most cherished by far was the raising and showing of her dogs.  She traveled the country showing her dogs and her passion resulted in numerous Champions, Grand Champions, and even wins at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. She is survived by her beloved fur babies:  Pumpkin, Alvin, Game, Abby Dabby, Betty Boop, Pippin, Mya, and Charlotte.
