Joyce Violet Huston

Joyce Violet Huston, 83, passed peacefully from this life on September 13th, 2017, surrounded by her family.

          Joyce came into this world, on September 22nd, 1933, born to Arthur and Violet Bruening in Skokie, Illinois. She graduated from Indiana University in 1956 with a degree in Biology. On August 1st, 1959, she married the love of her life David R. Huston, who preceded her in death on June 21st, 1997. Joyce is now re-united with her husband in a heavenly home where pain and suffering are no more.

          Joyce held memberships in the KCC, Psi Iota Psi and Sigma Kappa Sororities, and Shiloh Methodist Church. She enjoyed family, traveling, holidays, especially Christmas, and wintering in Florida.

          For many years, Joyce worked tirelessly to raise five, often rowdy, boys and once she deemed them to be properly schooled and fit to survive in this world, (all five obtained college degrees). She then went to work alongside her husband at Huston Electric, Inc., where she worked full time, both before and after her husband's passing. Even into her early 80s, before illness intervened, she continued to work three days a week at the family business, and also served the company as Chairman of the Board.

          Joyce is survived by her sons; Chuck R. (Dot), Jon A. (Jennifer), Steve S. (Tamatha), Jason B. (Jenni), and Corky M. (Erin). Grandchildren Skyelar, Ross, Matthew, Megan (TK), Mark, Nikki, Kelli; Carter, Vivian, Estella, Ellie, Anna, Cora, Michael, Sikwayi, and great-granddaughter Aeries. She is also survived by her sisters Gail Mersbach and Sandy Vollmer (Jim), and numerous nieces and nephews.

          Besides her husband, those waiting to welcome Joyce into her heavenly home include her parents, Arthur & Violet Bruening; in-laws Donald & Julia Huston; Brother-In-Law Dave Mersbach; sister-in-law Marcia Cardwell; and nephew David A. "Davey" Mersbach, along with many friends and acquaintances.

In Lieu of flowers Memorial Contributions in Joyce's memory may be made to Shiloh Methodist Church (5741 CR W 100 N Kokomo 46901)

          Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, at Ellers Mortuary, Webster Street Chapel, 3400 S. Webster St., with Pastor Bud Probasco officiating. Calling will be 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 18, and one hour prior to services Tuesday. Interment will follow at Crown Point Cemetery.

To all the Huston's, especially to my boyhood buddy Steve and his brothers Chuck, Jon, Jason, and Corky and their families - our thoughts and prayers are with you. I can remember so many memories of Joyce being so welcoming, serving up lots of lunches, and just making her home everyone else's. I know mom, Donna, extends her love and prayers as we discussed many of her memories from over the years. Steve, I can always remember her raised voice and screaming, "Steven!", and just feeling so relieved she never yelled mine. So many countless fun memories of growing up around the Huston household. Miss all of you, too! Much love and condolences - the Faulkners (Doug, Jodie, Alex & John, and Donna, and Guy and his family).

Aunt Joyce, you were such a kind and loving and special aunt my whole entire life. My best family memories growing up were the times spent with the extended Bruening girls' families, my wonderful cousins, aunts, and uncles... thank you for your endless kindness, your gentle spirit, and for loving and caring for all of us your whole life... you will always be cherished and loved by the family left behind, but glad you have been reunited with our beloved Uncle Dave once again, free from any pain. Love you so much!!!❤❤❤

Dear Ross,
I am so sad to hear of the death of your beloved Grandma. I did not know her, but I wonder if I might have met her on Grandparents' Day in third grade. I am certain that she was a very sweet, loving lady. Now that I am a grandma, I know how special my grandchildren are, and so I am sure she loved you very much. I also know what a loving, sweet guy you are, and how much you must have cherished your Grandma. I will keep you and all your family in my prayers that our dear Lord will hold you gently close to His precious heart that loves you all so much. God be with you all in this time of sorrow. Love and prayers, Monica Thomas

My deepest sympathy to the family of Joyce Huston. At the time of David Huston's funeral I was working for Ellers Mortuary, Inc. Since then I have retired to Florida. It was a pleasure and honor to assist your Mom & family with Mr. Huston's arrangements. Your mother was a very delightful lady. I have never forgot her. God bless all of you! You friend, Matt Kamm
