Joyce Watson died on December 11, 2015 due to complications from Pneumonia and lung disease. She died at Rosebud Health Care Center in Forsyth surrounded by her family.
Joyce was born on January 19, 1943 in Forsyth, Montana to Sam and Margaret Watson.
She worked at the Restwel Motel for several years, the Best Western Inn and the Speedway Diner.
In her lifetime, Joyce enjoyed listening to country music, spending time with her friends and family, playing cards, bowling, crafts, puzzles, coloring pictures and entering them in the fair.
Joyce was a quiet individual who hardly complained of anything even though in life she dealt with many hardships.
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, and brothers: Sam, Tom, Mel, Max and Bob.
Survivors include her brother Stanley (Bev) Watson and sisters: Ruby (Warren) Jessen, Vi (Bill) Millhollin, and Betty Howe.
A private family service will be held at a later date at the Forsyth Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the RHCC Nursing Home.
