Joyce Nordloh

Joyce Nordloh passed away on May 4th, 2023. She was 89 years old and had lived in the Byers, Colorado community her entire life. Joyce was the daughter of Joseph Lars Stenseth and Ruth Fredrickson Stenseth. Joyce lost her mother as an infant and was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Klinger of Byers, Colorado. Joyce’s two older brothers, Carl and Leo, were raised by their father on a farm outside of Byers. Joyce married after high school to Bill Nordloh. They lived on a farm with Bill’s parents for the first few years of marriage. These were wonderful years for Joyce; she adored Bill’s parents and loved living on the farm. Joyce was a homemaker and a terrific mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Over the years, Joyce traveled and enjoyed extended stays with family, including Las Vegas, NV; Falls City, NE; Arlington, TX; San Diego, CA; Portland, OR; and Phoenix, AZ. The family was essential to Joyce; she remained active and involved in her grandchildren's and great-grandchildren’s lives. As her health declined, her son, Bill, was her devoted caregiver in her later years. She will be remembered as a caring, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister, and friend.

Joyce made friends and great memories everywhere she went. She loved to visit new places and took many trips to California, visited numerous national parks, loved visiting Hawaii with her daughter, and was fortunate to visit the Holy Land with her dear friends. Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Ruth Stenseth, Mr., and Mrs. Bill Klinger; her husband of 37 years, William Nordloh; her in-laws, Alexander and Elizabeth Nordloh; both her brothers, Carl and Leo Stenseth; and many friends. She is survived by her children Connie Dixon and Bill Nordloh; grandchildren Travis (William) Dixon and Andra (Thomas) Keller; and great-grandchildren Kaylee and Alex Keller.
