Joyce Anderson Obituary
Age 78, of Manhattan, passed away Friday, December 13, 2024, with her loving children at her bedside. Joyce was born in Chicago Heights, IL, to the late Santo D. and Stella J. (nee Stracci) Capriotti. Loving mother of Jenna (Dave) Kindinger and Rob Anderson; dear sister of Joan Capriotti and Thelma (the late Jake) Biamonte; cherished aunt of Lori (Brendan) O'Mara, Cari (Fred) Biamonte-Bolda, and Geri Biamonte; proud great-aunt of Mason (Ashley), Morgan, and the late Mitchell O'Mara. She was also preceded in death by her beloved dog Tino.
Her devotion to her children and her firm belief in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, supported her in times of struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Joyce was blessed with loving family and friends who would describe her as the most loving, caring, compassionate, understanding, and strongest person who brought joy and love to everyone she touched.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Joyce’s name to Lightways Hospice would be appreciated. The family will receive friends at Kurtz Memorial Chapel, 102 E. Francis Rd., New Lenox, IL, on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, from 3:00 p.m. until the time of the Funeral Service at 7:30 p.m. Interment will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at Assumption Catholic Cemetery, Glenwood, IL.
