Joyce J Smith

Joyce lived a vibrant life and dedicated more than 40 years as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Her warmth and generosity touched countless lives, and she leaves behind a lasting legacy of compassion and love. Joyce cared for her patients with unwavering dedication and nurtured bonds with family and friends that will endure forever.

A pillar of strength and resilience, Joyce’s spirit lives on in her surviving son, Kenneth Barnett; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She endured the painful losses of her daughter, Linda (Barnett) Rimbenieks, and her son, Harold Barnett, as well as six brothers and one sister, yet remained devoted to her family. Her absence is deeply felt, but the life lessons and love she shared continue to inspire us.

We invite all who knew Joyce to treasure their memories and carry her presence in their hearts as we say goodbye. May she rest in peace, knowing she lived a life that touched and enriched so many.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in her name to favorite charity.
