Joyce, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, completed her earthly work on January 19, 2021 at the age of 85.
Joyce grew up on Akron’s North Hill and graduated from North High School. The majority of her work-life was dedicated to serving the Akron Fire Dept. Credit Union for 27 years before retiring as the Manager in 2000.
Joyce never knew a stranger; she greeted everyone with a “Hi, honey.” She was always ready to organize a party, vacation with family or friends, or go out to enjoy a meal. Joyce served her church and Lord with enthusiasm and love, and would help anyone in need. She was a long-standing member of Northampton United Methodist Church (NUMC), volunteered for years at Royal Family Kids Camp (RFKC), a camp for abused and neglected children, and served in various community outreach programs at Heart 4 The City (H4TC).
She is preceded in death by her parents David and Olive Evans, loving husband Phillip, beloved son Paul, daughter-in-law Becky and grandson Nathan.
She leaves behind her children Iris (Ray) Para, Lake Wales, FL., Zeke (Candy) Glasgow, Jackson, OH., Kathy (Greg Raies) Priebe, Akron, OH., Beth Glasgow, Cuyahoga Falls, OH., Lori Glasgow (daughter-in-law), Stow, OH.; her grandchildren Mark (Beth), Kim (Rox), Dan (Michele), Matt, Joshua (Jackie), Kerry (Chris), Jon (Kattie), Aaron, Seth, Lainie, and Jeremy; great-grandchildren Bob, Nathanael, Elisha (Caleb), Elaina, Noelle, Nataly, Gwyneth, Chloe, Nehemiah, Ruth, Joy, and Dessa; brothers Dale (Noreen) Evans and Dave (Judy) Evans; many special nieces and nephews and too many friends to list.
The family will hold a private memorial service on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at 1:00 pm which will be streamed live from Northampton United Methodist Church, and will be available for viewing afterwards at the following website https://youtu.be/I3Jr4O29j_8 or through the church's website.
The family would like to thank the dedicated staff members of Maplewood at Cuyahoga Falls and Summa Hospice who provided the additional support and care she needed these last two years.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in memory of Joyce can be made to: Royal Family Kids Camp, Northampton United Methodist Church 852 W. Bath Rd., Cuyahoga. Falls, OH 44223; Heart 4 The City 954 Eastland Ave., Akron, Ohio 44305; or a charity of your choice.
