Joyce Talbot Obituary

Joyce Maule Talbot of Seattle, WA died Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at home. Born in Tacoma, July 28, 1933, to Trebor and Genevieve Maule, Joyce graduated from Stadium High School in the class 1951 and attended the University of Washington as a business major. She married Jim Talbot in 1961, and the two were very proud of the lakeside house they build in the Seattle neighborhood of Laurelhurst. She was an avid reader who enjoyed puzzles, loved to travel and took up the study of geology later in life. Animal welfare was just one of the many philanthropic causes she actively supported. Joyce will also be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor. She is survived by Jim, her husband of 52 years, brother Jerry Maule of Tacoma, son Stowe, daughter Jane, and four grandchildren. She did not wish to have a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Whatcom Humane Society in Bellingham, WA.
