DATTILO
Joyce Ann Dattilo passed away Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at the age of 72, after a nine-year battle with ovarian cancer. Joyce was born on January 8, 1953 to the late Joseph and Nina Barnhorst in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was the loving wife of Ken; mother of Brian (Katie) and Kristina (Jeremy); grandmother of Logan, Maddie, and Hayden; and is also survived by numerous cherished siblings—Marcy, Diane, Denise and Jeff—as well as several nieces, nephews and many more family and friends.
She spent her childhood in Cincinnati and attended Seton Hall High School, where she met her future husband. She graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Education and taught elementary school for several years. She and Ken moved away, raising their children in Nashville, TN; Denton, TX; and Warner Robins, GA before returning to Ohio.
She lived her life devoted to God and family, loved reading by the pool, ocean, or lake, and cherished a good board game or round of cards. Her young grandchildren rekindled the instincts she had as an elementary school teacher. All who spent time with her knew to watch out as she could break into song at any moment. Travel and concerts in the park became later life passions. Her kind and joyful spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A Memorial Gathering will be held Thursday December 11th from 10:30 a.m. until the time of Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. at St. Ignatius Loyola Church. A Celebration of Life will immediately follow at the St. Ignatius Loyola Hall. We hope that all can attend to share in fellowship and words of remembrance. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to cancer research. Mihovk-Rosenacker is honored to serve the family during this time.
