She was wonderful, a trailblazer, and an inspiration. My most sincere condolences to the family.
A wonderful woman and amazing veterinarian who influenced, taught and inspired many of our own here at HousePaws, is being laid to rest today 💔
Words from Dr. Joyce
Dr Self was an icon in veterinary medicine. She graduated veterinary school when there were few women veterinarians and certainly much fewer black veterinarians. She was a talented surgeon and taught me so much. She was active in the veterinary community and served on the board of veterinary medical examiners for many years.
Dr Self had a strong faith in God. She cared about her family deeply. She loved strawberry shortcake and the Philadelphia Eagles :)
Dr Self, you will be missed.
❤️🙏🏾
