Joyce Maze Obituary
71, formerly of Louisville, passed away peacefully at her home in McDaniels, KY on November 20, 2014.
A loving woman, who was the definition of life, lived loudly and radiated joy every place she went. Her philosophy was "if you're not laughing you're not living."
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents Golda and Woodrow Vernon, her husband John Maze, and her brother James Vernon.
She will be dearly missed by her son Larry Maze (Lisa), her grandchildren Wesley Maze, Natasha Maze (Chris) and Jordan Mitchell; brothers, Russ Vernon (Ann) and Mark Vernon (JoAnn); and sister, Paula Dusel (Chuck) She had many nieces and nephews. Joyce chose to donate her body to research at the U of L Health Sciences Dept.
A celebration of life will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2014 at 11am at the Irvington Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 111 Walnut Street, Irvington, KY.
Expressions of sympathy can be made to the Gilda's Club of Louisville.

Dear Maze Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. The last time I was at the lake I talked to her for sometime never knowing that would be the last time. I so remember her grandaughter, Wesley who she spoke of often. Now Wesley can talk of her grandmother often to keep her memory alive. May she be at peace with her husband now. Keeping the family in our prayers as you deal with your loss.

My condolences to Joyce's family. Joyce was my best friend when we were teenagers and lived on Amboy Drive. I spent many days at the Vernon house. I send my sympathies to Larry, Rusty, Mark and Paula. She is now rejoicing with all of her family members that have gone before her. May she rest in peace. Patty Dwyer Jones
