Joyce Weber Obituary

She was born on Dec. 12, 1948, in Grand Rapids, Mich., to Herman and Wilma Zoet.

Joyce graduated from Western Michigan University with a master's degree in education.

She was a teacher and mentor to many of her students throughout the years.
During her favorite time of year at Christmas, Joyce and her sons would deliver toys and Christmas presents to students and families in need. She loved to travel, and traveled often – her favorite place was Assisi, Italy.
When not traveling, Joyce could be found tending to her garden. Joyce was a longtime member of Hope Reformed Church. Joyce was an avid WMU hockey fan and loved attending games. Joyce's family would like to thank the group of South Haven teachers, her friends, who have helped her so much in these past few years.
