Joyce Hatch Obituary

Visit the Emerson Funeral Home - Jonesboro website to view the full obituary.

Joyce Helen Boling Hatch, born September 6, 1929 and passed from this life on February 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; 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, February 14, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. at Emerson Memorial Chapel in Jonesboro, Arkansas. A funeral service will begin at 2:00 p.m. with Bro. Kenneth Winningham officiating. Interment will follow at Mt. Zion Cemetery.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
