What a legacy she has left.
Janis, you, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.☮️
To Uncle Tim & all my sweet cousins!! I’m so sorry to hear about Aunt Joyce! What a kind and giving person she was. I will always cherish spending so much time around her (and all of you) when we were growing up. Picture included of my favorite childhood memory with Joyce and all of you. Our two families made up 1/2 the group! She was always such a calm presence!! She also had a really great and subtle sense of humor (but you had to listen to catch it). I loved her dearly and while it is so sad to lose her, I know my Mom, and Laura Jane and David will take very good care of her!❤️
I love you all!!! Praying for you while you move forward without sweet Joyce. Love, Cousin Kim (or Kimmy)

In writing a memory then I would need to write a book. Joyce was my sister, my Mom, and my best friend . I am happy for her. We talked many times what it would be like to meet Jesus, see Heaven, and see so many family members. But I will miss her like crazy. I love you Joyce with my whole heart, have fun. PAIN FREE Hallelujah!

Great lady. She and her husband raised a good family. I was 3-4 years old when I first met Joyce. The large Steuber family moved across the street from our large family. Several of us spent a lot of time at the Steuber’s home growing up. I have MANY fond memories of Joyce, here is just one that made a big impression on this grade-school aged little girl. Even 50 years ago, Joyce had amazing sewing skills. Colleen Steuber and I were at the age where playing with Barbie Dolls was a big deal. We each had a couple clothes for them, but not many. One week Joyce made a number of Barbie clothes for us. It may sound ordinary today, because we see cheap, mass produced Barbie clothes in stores everywhere now. But the items Joyce made were intricate, and if you’ve never sewed before, let me tell you small doll clothes are very difficult and tedious. One outfit this 57 year old still remembers, was a gorgeous ballgown. I suspect it was made out of leftover scraps from a “real” dress she made for one of the girls. It was a beautiful emerald green, satin material. It had sleeves with little cuffs and small puffy, gathered shoulders, a tiny snap in the back, etc. To a girl growing up in the ’70s, in a small town, it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen and it was mesmerizing. That single act of love and talent by Joyce, brought hapiness to
two girls, for a couple years. I am so sorry Colleen and the rest of the Steuber family, for your loss. Your mom was good woman who others thought kindly of and admired.

Dear Tim and family, Thinking of you with sympathy and loving thoughts. I hadn’t seen Joyce recently but all my memories of her are good and happy ones. She was so kind and I know how much Joanne loved her…and how she accompanied Joanne through many losses of her own. May your memories give you great comfort and time bring you peace.
In loving sympathy, Vicki Castillon Simon (David’s sister)
