Joyce Rita Kieffer Mohr

November 24, 1928 – April 7, 2020
Obituary of Joyce Rita Kieffer  Mohr
IN THE CARE OF

Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home & Cemeteries

Joyce Rita Kieffer Mohr passed away April 7, 2020, at the age of 91. She was born November 24, 1928, in New Orleans and was a lifelong resident of Lakeview. While excelling as a homemaker, avid gardener, and seamstress, Joyce additionally worked for Bellsouth and Jefferson Beauty College as an instructor and also acted as a Brownie and Cub Scouts leader. She was a member of St. Dominic's Catholic Church where she served on the Altar Society and the Crescent City Telephone Pioneers. However, the vocation dearest to her heart was that of family-she was an incredible mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is preceded in death by her parents, John J. Kieffer and Alga P. Kieffer; her brother, Louis J. Kieffer; her husband, Richard P. Mohr; and her daughter, Elizabeth M. Tortorich. She is survived by her sons, Philip L. Mohr (Leanna) and Donald R. Mohr; her grandchildren, Suzannah Alexis (Stewart), Jeremy Mohr (Stacey), Timothy Mohr (Kaitlin), Kaitlin Tortorich, Annalise Tortorich, Micah Tortorich, Kristin Tortorich, and Emily Simon; and her great-grandchildren, Abigail, Jude, Mae, Ava, Addison, Lexi, Camron, Tristan, and Olivia. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make memorial contributions in Joyce's name are encouraged to do so through the Alzheimer's Association. Interment will take place at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 after a private service. To view and sign the guest book, please visit www.lakelawnmetairie.com.
