Martin County celebrates its centennial in 2025, and in commemoration, MCGS welcomes Joyce Fletcher-Menard to talk about some of the people she has gotten to know in her work at All Saints Cemetery in Jensen Beach. One of the oldest cemeteries on the Treasure Coast, All Saints is the final resting place for many of the people who laid the foundation for Jensen Beach, Rio and Martin County.

Joyce, a Martin County High School and University of Florida graduate, had a 20-year career in the U.S. Army. After her retirement, she re-invented herself as a genealogist and author. Since returning to the Treasure Coast in 2006, Joyce has served as the historian and archivist for All Saints’ Episcopal Church and All Saints’ Cemetery. She has written one book on the church, and four on the people in the cemetery. Joyce was the 2022 Martin County Historic Preservationist of the year, and belongs to several lineage societies, including the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
