David Kemp posted a condolence
Sunday, June 6, 2021
This is David Kemp, one of the people from the old neighborhood. I would first like to extend my belated condolences on the death of your mother, Joyce, back in November of 2020. It was back in the depths of the Covid-19 experience in Sioux Falls. I held on to the obituary, but did not send along a message. It is remarkable that you noted that internment would take place in Sioux Falls, at the neighborhood, Woodlawn Cemetery. In the early summer of 2021, when it is safe to travel again. We are approaching summer. It looks like we are starting to consider travel again. We had a hundred degree day on Saturday. So the Arizona people should be quite comfortable. I have been in contact with Steve Schaefer from the old neighborhood. We have discuss the possibility of visiting with your family when you come to Woodlawn. It is just remarkable that this might be happening. Please let us know what your plans might be. Give me a call, if you would like at: 605-338-8006. Take care. David Kemp

Oh what a love Joyce was, and always will be! I had the honor and priviledge of caring for Joyce for only a few years. And oh how that time was full. I feel very blessed that the Lord placed such a beautiful, loving, caring, giving person such as Joyce in my life. Joyce was full of life, and wanted to live it, share it and pass it on. My heart is so much fuller because of her presence in my life. And knowing, "her life has not ended, it has just begun", is my peace. I love you Joyce.

Hi from Sioux Falls. We have loved living for 34 years in the house that Don and Joyce built here but sorry we never got to know them except for meeting them one time. I recall meeting some of you when Don died and enjoyed hearing your memories of the neighborhood. Now we are sending condolences on the death of your dear mother. Feel free to stop by any time you are in Sioux Falls. Cathy and Dave Brechtelsbauer

I met Joyce about 15 years ago and what a Joy she was! We bonded over daughters, building a home and politics!!
She was a snazzy dresser and a snazzy lady and my life is richer for having known her! I will miss her!

Joyce was warm and welcoming as her home. She loved to fill the dining room table with votive candles, whether it was Christmas or not. She put the JOY in every holiday gathering.

While I did not have the opportunity to know Joyce for much more than a year, the time I was able to spend with her are some of my most cherished memories.
As a Home Health Aide, I am usually in the position to meet new people quite often. When I first came to work with Joyce, I knew she was different, as she was still a very vibrant, upbeat, energetic and caring woman with a lot to still share with the world.
We quickly became more than just a "typical" client/caregiver pair. We became true friends in a very short amount of time.
She was always very happy to see me, and would usually greet me with a smile, even a hug on numerous occasions. She loved being outdoors, and we shared many walks and drives as the weather and opportunities allowed. She would constantly remark on how beautiful she thought Tucson was, and often expressed simple joy at seeing certain cloud formations, lovely trees, and other scenes of nature that we encountered.
She had a quick sense of humor, and would often have me laughing at her hilarious comments on life and the various situations she found herself in. She loved to watch nature shows on tv, and showed genuine and pleasurable interest in learning about new species and how they lived in their habitats. She hated commercials, and would leave me giggling with her dry remarks and "comebacks" that she would express about what she was viewing. The Dr. Phil Show was a particular favorite of hers, and we would spend many hours together watching the show, sharing quips about the different people that were interviewed. She had a sharp mind that would continually leave me guessing at what humorous statement she would come up with next.
She loved cats, and her beloved Tabby was her constant companion and confidant. She would never forget to provide Tabby with the proper care and attention the cat needed. As I have a cat of my own, we would share stories and jokes about the silly antics of our feline friends. And when Joyce went to bed at night, Tabby had her own special place on the blankets to sleep next to her beloved owner.
Joyce took special care of herself, always doing her best to appear as lovely on the outside as she was inside. She was a deeply caring soul, expressing it to all those she knew, especially to her 3 beautiful daughters. A card, call and/or visit from them were the highlights of her daily life, and she eagerly looked forward to each time she could interact with them. Covid-19 brought many restrictions, and her time with family and friends became very limited, and she learned to deeply appreciate and enjoy each and every moment she was able to engage with those that she loved.
She also delighted in looking at her albums of the many photos of family she had collected over the years, especially those of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She especially adored the photos and memories of her late husband, and looked forward to the time when she could be with him again. She had a strong spirit, and endured well while thinking of those who had passed before her.
Over time, we grew closer and closer, and she was able to fill a void in me as a "mother-type" figure, since I didn't have one of my own. She would express sadness when I had to leave for the day, and I was quite often disappointed that I couldn't spend more time with her. I would happily and eagerly look forward to the next time I could be with her.
I feel so very blessed to have had Joyce in my life, even though it was for such a limited period of time. My life has been forever enriched by her intelligence, wealth of knowledge, compassion, quick and surprising wit, and the overall joy she saw in our world each and every day. I will miss her dearly for the rest of my days here on Earth, and look forward to the time when we can be together again in friendship and love, someday.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Joyce, knowing Julie for over 45 years (wow, amazing). I always thought she must have such a great loving mom because of who Julie has become in her life. I may not have known her directly, but I did. Lots of love to all if you..Pamela Mathis
