It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joyce Faith Catellier. Joyce passed peacefully on June 18, 2025 at the age of 80 in the home she resided in for 49 years. Joyce was born in Kingston, New York on August 27, 1944 to Hope and Harold Tubby. Joyce was a devoted and loving mother to Jennifer Iacomini (Angelo Iacomini Jr.) of Stony Creek, NY and Joel P Morley Jr. (Ashley Hinkebein) of New Port Richey, FL, grandmother to Kerry and Kaitlin Iacomini, Joel and John Morley, and great grandmother to Angelo Rafaniello and Samantha Horowitz.

Joyce spent her career at the Hudson River Psychiatric Center as a cleaning aide for 28 years. Joyce loved what she did. Her dedication and hard working mentality was evident throughout her entire career, never taking a day off. She brought this same mentality into much of her life. Joyce took great pride in her home and beautiful gardens.

Joyce found joy in shopping and spending time with her grandchildren doing various activities such as going to the beach and The Catskill Game Farm. Joyce hosted many events such as Halloween gatherings and epic easter egg hunts. She enjoyed cooking and baking for her family and friends. Joyce loved going to the movies and reading the newest murder tale. She had a profound love for animals and a large collection of stuffed animals. When she was younger she enjoyed going for walks, roller skating, and was an excellent pogo stick jumper.

Along with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren Joyce will be deeply missed by many of her aunts, cousins, grand paw babies, and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Joyce's name may be made to Hudson Valley Hospice.
