Wallace Joslin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 12, 2025.
Phoenix - It is with sadness that the family of Wallace F. Joslin announce his passing on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Wally, 86, was born to Woodrow and Ruth Joslin on August 31, 1938.

A native of Phoenix, Wally graduated from North High School in 1956 and received his business accounting degree from Arizona State University shortly thereafter. Wally loved his family and enjoyed traveling, riding motorcycles, was an avid golfer, and cherished his afternoon tee times as a member of the Arizona Country Club. As a devoted dog lover, Wally always had a canine companion by his side, and he and his wife routinely adopted four-legged friends from local animal shelters.

Wally is preceded in death by his parents; son Marcus Joslin; and daughter Mary King. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Bonita (Bonnie) McCoid; sons Michael Joslin and Tom McCoid; three grandchildren and one great-grandchild, all of Phoenix.

The family asks that donations in Wally's name be made to the Arizona Humane Society.
