“The passing of Joyce Schott is announced with saddened hearts. 

She & her husband Pete were never far apart. 

They were happily married for sixty-nine years. 

Losing her is unimaginable & brings so many tears. 

She was surrounded by love from her friends & family. 

All who met her thought she was simply lovely. 

She lived a life full of love, patience, determination, strength & kindness. 

Her display of resilience & words of wisdom provided a needed guidance. 

Joyce was known as a gardener, reader, seamstress, camper, & bird watcher.

 Lest we forget, also a boater, fisherwoman, & an avid JCPenney shopper. 

We shall find solace in the beautiful memories created & shared. 

Always remembering & knowing how much Joyce cared. 

Though her loss brings an ever-lasting void to those left behind,

 In our lives, she will be forever entwined.”
