Joyce was a very talented artist. She enjoyed leading & sewing costumes for Dance Cats. I helped Joyce see some outfits for Dance Cats & rode along on the bus with the girls as a chaperone when they performed at halftime of a basketball game. Don & Joyce attended our many anniversaries at the Bowling Alley. We enjoyed riding in their boat at Fort Peck,
We will miss her! Rest in peace, Joyce!
With love, prayers, & sympathy,

Dear Don, Jay, Nicole and families, Judy, Joey, Larry and families, My heart is breaking for all of you. Sooo many memories. I remember how cute she was, in her Walker with her mamma in the old Variety Store when her dad was in the service. I thought she was like a real live doll. She was so sweet then and she didn’t change. So many memories of living next door to her. It was like one family living in two houses. She will be missed by so many. Sending all my love and condolences.

Dear Don, Jay, Nicole, and families,
Our thoughts and prayers are for you and the enormous loss you feel now. We remember Joyce as an out-going person who wore many hats and was always willing to face challenges. She stepped up when needed and showed leadership in the community. Her contributions on Main Street, in the school and church, and in several organizations bring good memories for us and comfort to you.

I am so sorry in your loss. Joyce was such a vibrant person always so busy, helping with every project that needed help. She loved the lake and her Don being there also. Hugs to each and everyone of you. Prays to Joyce in heaven.
Maureen Curtiss says
I have so many wonderful memories of Joyce. She was one of my dearest friends and i loved her like a sister. We did many things together with our daughters Janel and Nicole. From Girl Scouts to drill team, Joyce always did her best to help all our girls learn and have fun together. Joyce organized the Sagebrush Art Club and we taught art classes together. All our adventures were so much fun, we recently talked on the phone about that. I’m sending my love and condolences to all of Joyces family. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed and remembered always.

Dear Shriver, Skornogoski, Siler, and Cornelia Families,
My heart aches because we have lost Joyce. As a small child, Joyce was part of my extended family; five years older, she was my “biggest” sister. While I have so many memories of those early Circle days, one vision particularly stands out. Joyce was modeling prom dresses at the Circle Department Store while I was her seated audience. In every dress she looked like a Disney World Movie Princess or a Dresden doll; exquisitely, perfectly, petitely, adorable. But more importantly, throughout her life, Joyce focused on service to others in every imaginable way. She always “joined up” and made physical and spiritual contributions to help others, all while emanating her special Zip, and Zazzy zealous spirit. About five years ago, Judy, Joyce, and I spent a long memorable weekend together. Joyce sparkled with energetic enthusiasm, her positive cheerful nature was an elevating and joyful experience. I am so thankful we shared that unforgettable time together and hold all my living memories of us close and dear. Joyce celebrated her life with joy and love. She will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are for you during this time of grief and sorrow. With loving sympathy, Cousin Dorothy
