Joyce Ramstack Obituary
(nee Raasch) Age 93, left us to sing with the angels on November 7, 2020, and was reunited with her beloved husband, Eugene. She is survived by her children: Holly Morris (Jeff), Roger Ramstack, Shelly Hommel (Jeff) and her adored grandchildren: Brendan and Brian Morris, Sarah Ramstack, and Ryan and Eric Hommel and many relatives and friends.
Music, family and friends were her life. Joyce graduated from Milwaukee Downer College and taught music in elementary schools. She was a soloist with the church choir, sang in bandshells in the Milwaukee Parks and was a member of the Milwaukee Choristers.
Joyce was married for 50 years to Gene. She loved to travel with family and friends. In retirement, Gene and Joyce lived their dream to spend their time together in Sarasota, FL and at their Druid Lake home.
Joyce and Gene filled their life with friends from all walks of their lives — The Downer Girls, The Church Girls, Card Club, Crazy Couples Club, Dancing groups, etc. They made friends easily and treasured those friendships.
Private interment will take place at Wisconsin Memorial Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials would be appreciated to the Shorewood Orchestra Boosters, online donations at www.shorewoodorchestra.org or mail checks to Shorewood Orchestra Boosters c/o Karen Frink, 1701 E.

We were so sad to hear about the passing of your mom. She was one of the classiest women ever. My parents were so happy to meet their new neighbors when Joyce and Gene built their new home in Wauwatosa. Lots of fun memories. It was a pleasure and an honor to have her as a friend.

She was a very good friend of my wife Jane Hall and fellow Downer girl. Her husband Gene and Joyce welcomed us with visits both at their home in Sarasota and Druid Lake. I am sure she is now reunited with the Downer girls club including my beloved Jane. Sincerely, Jerry Hall...

Her sweet disposition and fun loving nature shines from her smile. Our condolences go out to the Morris and extended family. She was gifted with grandchildren and children who continue her loving spirit. Her love will watch over all of you and in the coming days and weeks and months ahead feel her sharing her joy with you comforting you! We will think of her and her husband Gene dancing in heaven and rooting for the packers!

We remember Joyce as a gracious host on Druid Lake, always ready with a smile. She welcomed legions into her home through those many summers. If there was a Brewers' Game on, she was glued to that TV. She was a lovely person who so adored her family. She passed along many wonderful traits that will live on. We're so fortunate to have known her.

We are grateful for having known Joyce and being part of her life in the last 20+ years; Packer games, Lake house, parties or just sipping cocktails on the deck looking at the lake. May your family know deeply, how much we love her and grieve with you. Morris, Hommel and Ramstack families, we pray you are surrounded and comforted by so much love, that you feel it like a hug, now and every time you think of your mom and your grandma. Love always, John, Julie, Michael and Jack.
