On August 29, 1933 an angel came to earth when Joyce Jane Cundiff was born to parents, William S. Cundiff & Mary E. Mahoney. She grew up in Elizabethtown, Kentucky with her sisters, Margaret, Hazel and her twin sister, Jean. She went to Elizabethtown High School. During summer vacation from school she worked as a waitress at a local restaurant. At this restaurant, is where she met the love of her life Robert Boyd.
After dating for a year, they got married on Easter Sunday, April 5, 1953. They had 2 children, Robert Boyd Jr. and Rhonda Boyd. Her husband Bob worked on amusement machines and then got hired on to the Louisville Fire Dept.
In 1963, they moved to the Pleasure Ridge Park area and after being a wonderful stay at home mom for many years, she got a job at Bacon’s Dept. Store. Jane worked at Bacon’s for several years where she made many memories and friends. She was a member of Beechland Baptist church for over 30 years. She could often be found sewing, cooking and baking. Three things of which she loved to devote time too. She loved her family dearly and deeply. Jane lived a full life, a life well lived!
Her parents, William S. & Mary E. Cundiff; sisters, Hazel Payton & Margaret Harris; & grandson, Joseph Kauska, precede Jane in her passing.
Left to cherish her unforgettable memory is her husband of over 69 years, Robert L. “Bob” Boyd; daughter, Rhonda (Donald) Deputy & son, Robert (Patricia) Boyd. From these two marriages they gave their mother 5 – grandchildren, Taylor Boyd, Trevor Boyd, Jennifer (Chris) Broda, Christie (Stephen) Tipton & Amanda (Samuel) Mazziotti; 8 great- great grandchildren, Christopher Broda, Rebecca Broda, Nicklaus Broda, Gracelyn Tipton, Jude Tipton, Lillian Mazziotti, Holden Mazziotti & Madison Kauska; her twin sister, Jean Shelton; plus, a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her passing.
