Marian Joyce Klein

Marian Joyce Klein, age 91 of Jupiter, Florida passed away peacefully on October 16, 2026. Anchored by her unwavering faith and belief in God, her gentle spirit has returned to the eternal peace of Christ.

Joyce was born in Houston, Texas on June 10, 1935 to Bernard Power and Mattie Pearl Cooper. She graduated High School from Incarnate Word Academy in Houston, Texas. After marrying, she spent the next 20 years managing our household as our Fighter Pilot Father served our Country, one TDY after another. Through years of changing bases, packing boxes and unpredictable deployments, she was her Family’s True North.

Later in life, she went on to obtain her Bachelors Degree and subsequently her Masters Degree in Social Work from Florida State University. For 40 years, she walked alongside those navigating life’s heaviest storms. As a dedicated Drug, Alcohol, and Family Therapist, her career was a true extension of her faith—a quiet ministry of grace, mercy, and resilience. She possessed a rare and beautiful alchemy, turning despair into hope, fracturing into reconciliation, and pain into peace for countless families. To her clients, she was a steady lighthouse; to her own Family, she was the very shore.

Her greatest joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved the beautiful chaos of family get-togethers. The friendships she formed at JIC were wonderful bonds which she treasured later in life, and also where she met her husband, Richard. She found peace living by the ocean in Jupiter, Florida, where the turquoise waters, the warm Atlantic breeze, and the steady rolling tide fed her soul. An avid reader, she found solace in the quiet sanctuary of a good book.

Joyce was predeceased by her husband, Richard Olisky, her son, Mark Klein, her father, Bernard Powers and her mother, Mattie Pearl Cooper.

She is survived by her sister, Patricia Stephenson (Steve), daughter, Kristi Klein Rhodes (Brett), daughter, Leslie Klein Gould (Jim), grandsons Mark Gould, Alexander Gould (Jayline), Jordan

Gould (Jenny), Austin Rhodes (Amanda) and Cooper Rhodes. Also survived by great-granddaughter Arielle Marian Gould and great-grandson Colton Oliver Rhodes, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews and cherished friends.

A Memorial Service will be celebrated on October 28 at 1pm at St. Jude Catholic Church in Tequesta, Florida. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Treasure Coast Hospice, Stuart, in her honor
