Joyce T. Cutrer

Joyce Tate Cutrer passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, at her home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the age of 95. She was born on November 16, 1930, in Potts Camp, Mississippi and had lived in Baton Rouge for over 70 years.

She was a long-time member of Florida Blvd. Baptist Church where she taught Alpha Sunday School Class for 25 years, a remarkable feat because she lost her vision as a young adult. She was a wonderful cook, known for her monthly luncheons with 16 to 20 of her closest friends.

Joyce is survived by daughters Nancy Cutrer, Billie Staton and husband Edward Staton, sister Beverly Tate Cannon and husband Joe Cannon, brother Avrie Tate, grandsons Barrett McCarstle, Dustin Cutrer, Adam Cutrer, and Blaine Staton.

She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and great grandchildren. Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, A. B. Cutrer, son Clifton Cutrer, parents L. K. Tate and Ruby Tate, siblings Thresa Watson, William Tate and James Tate.

The family thanks Elsie Plain and Crystal Causey whose loving care made it possible for her to remain in her home. All who knew Joyce will miss her strength, intellect, wisdom and kindness.

Visitation will take place from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM at Greenoaks Funeral Home, 9595 Florida Blvd., Baton Rouge, LA 70815 on Friday, December 12th, 2025. Burial will follow in Greenoaks Memorial Park.
