Fred, Chris, Rick and Aunt Marilyn, I am so sorry for your loss of my good friend and 'cousin'. No matter the time that we were apart, it always was like we never missed a day. The memories I have will be cherished forever!! She will always be part of my family and in my heart. May she rest in peace.

Dear Mr. Becker,
I am very sorry for you're loss. I knew Joyce when we were very young. Just out of high school. We worked together for a while and hung out with the same group of friends. I had a great love of photography and she liked to see what I was always shooting. I knew then that she would be good at it.
She was a very caring and wonderful human being. I'm glad I had this chance to leave you these most sincere words.

Joyce was born on October 9, 1958 in Marshfield, Wisconsin, the daughter of Gerald and Marilyn (VanDreel) Wundrow. For more than twenty-six years Joyce has shared life with her husband, Fred Becker of Charleston. She is also survived by her mother, Marilyn VanDreel-Rhodes of Marshfield; a sister, Christine Wundrow of Marshfield; a brother, Rick (Sherri) Varsho of St. Paul, Minnesota; an uncle, Richard (Linda) Woodkey of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin; her father-in-law, Greyton Becker, Sr. of Charleston; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Frances (Jerry) Daniels of Charleston, Ophelia (Jerry) Tubbs of Overland Park, Kansas, Pamela Becker of Charleston, Greyton (Pamela) Becker, Jr. of St. Paul, Peter Christopher Becker of Charleston; nieces and nephews, Vincent Varsho, Erin (Danny) Walters, Brian Tubbs, Laura (Steve) Mullin, Jennifer (Ric) Oliva, Rebecca Becker and Greyton Becker, III; and her cousins, Jennifer and Megan Woodkey. She was preceded in death by her father.
For many years Joyce worked at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, Wisconsin as an Admitting Clerk and a Pharmacy Technician. Her many interests in life included award winning photography, sharing a love of music with Fred and spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking. Equally as cherished were her travels with Fred to favorite lake and woodland sites in Wisconsin which provided backdrops for many of her favorite photos. Foremost in Joyce's life, however, was her love for her family and the special relationship she shared with Fred as his wife and companion in life. She will always be remembered for her gentle, generous and loving nature.
