"With love and sadness, we share the passing of Alice Joyce Smith, 90, of Chicago, IL, who left us on to be with the Lord on September 15th, 2025. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband James.

Joyce filled life with charity, compassion, and kindness. She found joy in God and playing piano and cherished every moment with loved ones. To friends and family alike, Joyce was a source of comfort, wisdom, and strength.

Though she is no longer with us, Joyce's love and light will continue to shine in the hearts of those who knew her."

Visitation for Joyce will be held on Monday, September 22, 2025 from 5 until 7:30 p.m. at the Beidelman-Kunsch Funeral Homes & Crematory, 516 S. Washington St., Naperville. Private family interment will be held.
