Joyce Friesen Obituary

Friesen, Joyce Lynn
(Shockley)
Oct 27, 1972 - Sep 10, 2011

Age 38. Omaha. Joyce spent the last weeks of her life happily. She and husband Shawn had grown much closer recently, and they did many fun, autumn activities, like walking apple orchards, driving with the windows down, and watching Halloween themed movies. Joyce will be missed by her husband, Shawn, sister Kelly and her husband Scott, her mother Linda, several uncles including David and Jimmy, several aunts including Gaye and Marilyn and Betty, lovely niece Addison and nephew Dylan-children of Scott and Kelly, many cousins including Teneille Ripple, Trena Rouse, and Jerry Shockley among many others, and Grandmother Riddle. Joyce will also be missed by father and mother-in-law Roger and Kathy Friesen, brother-in-law Travis Friesen and wife, Dani, and many, many friends, cousins, and in-laws from Angleton, Stockdale, Somerset, Omaha, and throughout the country with whom Joyce connected online.
May God Bless you Joyce, and comfort all of the people who love you dearly, now and forever. CROSBY BURKET

I am so sorry for OUR loss. Joyce will certainly be missed. I feel remiss that it took me so long to learn of her passing. From my ealiest memories of Joyce in HS, she was always smiling and always saw the best in everyone, regardless of the circumstance. May God Bless you and your family as you heal from this devastating loss. She is an angel! I miss her facebook posts.
