Joyce A. Walpole

Joyce A. Walpole, age 85, of East Canton, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2026 at St. Joseph's Care Center. She was born in Canton on October 8, 1940 to the late Clarence and Katherine (Schuster) Moran. Joyce graduated in 1959 from East Canton High School. She was a longtime member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles #2374 in Louisville.

Joyce found love and was married to Thomas E. Walpole in 1961. Together they built a beautiful family whom Joyce cherished more than anything. Joyce and Tom spent over 60 wonderful years together before his passing in 2023. Her passion was her family. There was not a day that went by that she didn’t mention one of them, especially the great-grandchildren. She was an avid reader, cook and gardener. She loved reading and relaxing on her front porch swing watching the water and wildlife move around, while her flowers waved in the summer breeze around her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas; and daughter-in-law, Kelly Walpole.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Brett (Christine), Michael (Melanie) and Thomas (Jessica) Walpole; grandchildren, Kaylee (Dan) DiPietro Jr., Kyle (Danni) Walpole and Alyssa (Noah) Burke; great-grandchildren, Jase, Easton, Noah, Charlotte, Mila and Benson; and her sister, Mary (Charles) Perrott.
