Joyce Persaud

Joyce Persaud Obituary Joyce Elizabeth Faulkner was born on September 22, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois to the union of Cecil Faulkner and Clara B. Caliman. She was the third of four children; preceded by her siblings Phyllis Anderson, Charles Anderson and followed by the youngest, Jo Ann Faulkner. Joyce attended Englewood High School and began her work career at Time Life in Chicago. She met and married Rev. Patrick Persaud. To this union was born a baby boy, Patrick Joel (PJ). The family relocated from Chicago to Durham NC, before eventually settling in Shaker Heights, OH. Helping others was always a priority for Joyce, and she began working for a nonprofit organization. While there, she continued her education and received a Bachelor’s Degree from Capital University and a Master’s Degree from Cleveland State University. These would help her grow her career, and she began working for the Cleveland Clinic, where she remained until she retired as a Senior Director of Marketing in 2021.
