Joyce Yahner Obituary
She was born June 12, 1942 to George Guilford and Lillian Naomi, and grew up in Audubon, N.J., where she graduated from Audubon High School.
She married Richard Grzeczkowski in August 1965, who preceded her in death in 1984.
Joyce loved the beach, particularly Broadway Beach in Cape May, N.J., where she spent many summers with loved ones. In the quiet times she enjoyed cross stitch, reading and crossword puzzles. Perhaps her biggest love was food, which caused more than one startled wait staff when they attempted to take her plate too soon.
Joyce is survived by her three "favorite" children and their spouses, Richard and Leticia Grzeczkowski, Brian and Lois Grzeczkowski, and Daniele and John Majer, and her grandchildren, Jessica Grzeczkowski, Stephen Grzeczkowski, Trevor Majer, and Melanie Majer.
A memorial and burial ceremony will be held in Pennsylvania at the family's convenience.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, alz.org.

It was very sad for me to read this today. Cousin Joyce and I used to play together when we were kids. Road a random bike with her through the Admiral Hotel in Cape May, probably it was in the early '50s. Remember walking up the street from Uncle Gil's house together to get ice cream cones. I think we were sent to just get us out of the house.
