Joyce H. Riddle - How do you write an obituary for your mother? No one ever thinks they will be doing that. Today this became our reality---Jeff, Kenny and Janis---today our mother left this world.
Are we sad?Of course. But then we remember where and who she is with now and know that our tears are only going to last for a very short time. Our joy for her “trumps” everything.
Joyce was preceded in death by her father, mother and two brothers,- to them and to all the folks in her home town of Fisk, Missouri she was “Joycee”…..She always loved to hear someone call her that because she knew it was going to be someone from home.
Joyce’s family grew beyond her wildest imagination:==
3 children-Janis, Jeff & Charlotte and Kenny & Tammy---
8 grandchildren-Eric, Jonathan, Becky, Jennifer, Jordan, Tara, Daniel and Ethan-
10 great-grandchildren-Bianca, Solie, Arie, Dolly, Wayne, Kylee, RaeAnn, Noah, Faith and Liam-
