First Lady Joyce Dinkins Death – Obituary | Dead – Passed Away

Joyce Dinkins Death – Dead: A great loss was made known to InsideEko. As friends and families of the deceased are mourning the passing of their loved and cherished Joyce Dinkins.

Joyce Dinkins, who Mayor David Dinkins always referred to so lovingly as his “bride,” was a leader in her own right, who cared about the well being of children & community. This is such a loss. And for me a role model as a Soror. RIP.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Ms. Joyce Dinkins, the wife of former NYC Mayor Dinkins and first black woman to serve as the First Lady of the City.

My prayers and condolences go out out to the Mayor and the entire Dinkins family

We lost a great woman, Mrs. Joyce Dinkins. She was a quiet but strong committed woman who made us sit up w/ pride. She will be missed and always remembered. I talked w/ Mayor Dinkins to salute her Spirit, May she rest in Power. Our First Lady forever!

I’m heartbroken to hear that Joyce Dinkins has passed. She inspired me with her grace and her beautiful spirit. Her sparkle made our city gleam a little brighter, and we were all better for knowing her.
