Joyce Frost Has Died

The “Old Woman” from the BBC Radio 2 show – Steve Wright in the Afternoon – has passed away. Joyce Frost died pain-free and peacefully last week according to the radio presenter, who paid tribute to her on the show.

Frost was from Dagenham, Essex, and was known as the “Old Woman” to listeners and became a regular on the long-standing show. She would give listeners her take on the events happening around the world.

She was described by many, including the DJ, as a lovely person. Frost was a complete natural on air and liked to voice her opinions using her wit and charm. She was funny and alway cheeky.

Many people will miss the “Old Woman,” and the show just won’t be the same without her regular appearance. Even though Frost had never been on the radio before the show, she was very professional, even around big actors. She once played a game of Factoids with Will Smith and didn’t even hesitate.

The name Joyce can be either masculine or feminine and is taken from the medieval masculine name Josse. The name Josse was derived from the name ludocus that was a Latinized version of the Breton name Judoc, which means “lord”.

The name became popular after given to a Breton saint from the 7th-century, who introduced settlers to England after the Norman conquest. Then it became rare in the 14th century as a masculine name, then later revived as a feminine name. This may be due to the similarity of the name to the Middle English word joise that meant “to rejoice”.
