My fond memories of Joyce were when I lived on the farm and Jerome and Joyce would visit. Joyce was a loving, quiet type, always with a sweet smile. She pitched right in no matter what, whether it was cooking, gardening, quilting, or canning the many vegetables or fruits my mother canned. My mother and Joyce got along so well. I looked up to Joyce for all the things she could do, and I considered her a great friend. Sometimes I even confided in her. She always took the time to help with whatever I was going through. We will all miss her! Her passing will be very hard on her children, who adored her. May she be at peace. RIP!
Jerome’s youngest sister, Donna Kleffner
I have such wonderful memories of Joyce. She was the most wonderful friend and neighbor. Best cook ever. I never liked gooseberry pie till she baked one for us. A wonderful person. Loved her family with all her heart and soul!
