Very sad to learn my grandma died.  I fondly remember her regular trips back to Duluth to visit and will miss her.

So sorry to hear that Aunt Joyce passed away.  Please accept our deepest sympathies.

My Mom has taught me so much about life that I still use in my everyday living. She was very brave as she left home from Duluth, Minnesota to pursue a job in Washington DC working for the war department. She was very young but that was the start of her life as an adult.  She met my father, who was a young marine from Norwood, Ohio. They fell in love, and got married and I was their first child. My Mom had many friends. She was a hard worker and great cook. I will miss our Monday night talks and I will always miss her just being there. I love you Mom and you will always be in my heart. Wish I could hug you just one more time. Love, Lindy

I sure am going to miss my Mom.  I'm going to remember how she was my confidant as I was growing up, how she always tried to make time for me to do things, how she always got me those ugly Christmas sweaters every year, and how I would wear them for her.  Even how once, wanting to hang with me and my friends, she jumped on my horse bare-back, and almost fell off the other side!  Those are the memories I'll hold close to my heart.  How she loved doing cross-stitch, playing cribbage, and having a Bloody Mary every once in a while.  I love you, Mom, and I'll miss you forever!

My mom lived a long and joyous life with her husbands and four children.  She had a number of grandchildren that she loved and cherished over the years.  Toward the second half of my moms life, she and my father relocated from Duluth, Minnesota to Portland, Or.. After my father died my mom moved to Sault Ste Marie, Mich. to move in with my sister Diana and her big family.  After a few years in Mich. my mom decided to move back to Or, where she felt more at home living near where my brother Frank and his wife Terry and my sister Barbie lived.  Again my mom settled in to her new home and resided there until her death.  
My mom was a fun person to be around and love life and her family to it'd fullest.  She was always willing to help and guide her children with her opinions and was there for us when we needed her the most.  Mom had many friends over the years and did outlive most of them.  I'm sure as she passed away that her friends and already departed family were on the other side waiting for with open arms.
Mom is now free of the pressures of life that we know of and is enjoying her new life.  We will be joining her soon and than we will all be together again.
I love you mom and will be looking for you in the future.  We can than party down and wait for the others.

Your Loving Son
James J. Clements

Joyce is survived by her 4 children, Diana (Ed) Ramos, Frank (Teri) Clements, Jim (Mona) Clements and Barbara Tyler.  She also has several grandchildren and nieces and nephews that survive her.

We love you Mom and we all know that you are loving Heaven.
