Joyce Carlson Dies

Joyce Carlson, a Disney artist who helped create the idyllic universe of singing children at “It’s a Small World” rides across the globe, died at home. She was 84.

Carlson died Wednesday after long suffering from cancer, The Walt Disney Co. said Friday.

In a 56-year career with Disney, Carlson went from delivering paints and brushes to animators to inking films herself, but it was her work on “It’s a Small World” that is witnessed by millions of visitors each year.

Carlson is survived by a sister, Veryl Jones, of Tampa, and several nieces and nephews.

Rest In Peace, Joyce.
