Joyce Hatch Obituary
WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Joyce Helen Boling Hatch, born Sept. 6, 1929, and passed from this life on Feb. 1, 2026, at her home in Wichita Falls, Texas, at 12:30 a.m.
She is survived by her son, Daniel Hatch; her sister, Elaine Crist; her brothers, Gary Boling and Van Boling; grandchildren, Michael Manard, Amanda Ratkowski, Christopher Hatch, and Kenneth Hatch; great-grandchildren, Zayleigh Hatch and Sunny Ratkowski; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and family members that were dearly loved and are too numerous to list here.
She loved the Lord, her family, and gardening, and touched so many people with her presence in our lives; she will be sorely missed.
But we are here to celebrate her life and not mourn her death because we know this life is temporary and she has just passed from this life to the eternal life promised by her confession of faith and trust in The Lord Jesus Christ.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 1 to 2 p.m. at Emerson Memorial Chapel in Jonesboro, with the funeral service beginning at 2 p.m. Interment will follow at Mt. Zion Cemetery.
