Joyce Frances Nord

Joyce Frances Nord, 79, passed away peacefully at Providence Hospital surrounded by her family on July 4, 2009 in Everett, WA. She was born to Franklin and Thelma Hayward, October 27, 1929 in Richmond, Virginia.
Joyce spent most of her years in Everett raising her children while working as a waitress at various establishments. When they were grown she moved to Seattle, WA, where she met the love of her life, Gary Nord. They spent their years together traveling whenever possible and spending much time as campaign volunteers.
Preceding Joyce in death were her parents; husband Gary; son, Craig; and daughter, Cindy.
She is survived by her son, Tom Wehrheim, of Snohomish, WA; four grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
Many thanks to the staff and residents at Merry Haven. You were wonderful.
