As the true backbone of the family, Joyce possessed the rare gift of making everyone feel seen and remembered. She never missed a birthday, ensuring that a thoughtful card always arrived in the mail to celebrate those she held dear.
When she wasn't caring for her family, Joyce found simple joys in life. She could often be found settled in her favorite spot, navigating a word search puzzle, reading various magazines, or lost in the heartwarming stories of a Hallmark movie. Her presence was the glue that held us together, and her role as our guiding light will be deeply missed.
Beloved wife of the late Frank. Loving mother of Diana (Mark Greiner) Barrett, Debbie Stimac and Kathleen (Thomas “Gordy”) Shirilla. Proud grandmother of Eric (Jordan) Hernandez and great-grandmother of Vera. Dearest sister of Phyllis Bash and the late Lois Fegan.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Kaul Funeral Home of Roseville. A Memorial Service is planned for a later date. Please share a memory with Joyce’s family on her online guestbook.
