Joyce Cucullu Obituary
Joyce grew up in Chicago and graduated from Bowen High School. She went to the University of Illinois and graduated with a degree in Architecture in 1954. She married Charles Cucullu on June 16, 1956 at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. She lived in South Holland, IL after she was married and then moved to Doylestown, PA in 1971 when her husband was transferred to that area for his career. In retirement, she and Charles moved to Boulder City NV where they lived for many years.
Joyce had many interests and quilting was one of her favorites. Many family members were gifted with beautiful quilts over the years which are now treasured heirlooms for all of us. She also enjoyed trains and travel and her Canadian trip on the Rocky Mountaineer with her friend and neighbor Amy was a special memory for Joyce.
Joyce's additional interests included Antiques Roadshow and watching hummingbirds. She was an avid stamp collector and enjoyed watching James Bond movies with her grandchildren.
Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Charles and her son Douglas. She is survived by her son Charles (Mary) Cucullu and her 4 grandchildren Nicole (James) Baxter and their children Emily and Calvin; Katie (Mike) Crandall and their son Jackson; Lauren (Todd) Swanson and their children Charley, Morgan and Parker; Tyler Cucullu and his fiancé Britt Tyree.
Thank you to the wonderful care givers at Emerald Bay Memory Care and Moments Hospice for the support and assistance you provided to Joyce in the last years of her life. Also, thank you to all who remembered Joyce while she lived at Emerald Bay with a card, a call, or flowers. Even as her memory was failing, know that you added a smile or a welcome distraction from the confusion and frustration of dementia. You provided Joyce with moments of happiness and the family appreciates how you kept Joyce in your life.
