Joyce was born on April 4, 1932 in St. Cloud to William and Hildegard (Yaeger) Raden. She graduated from Cathedral High School in 1950. Joyce married Victor "Vic" Hengel on June 8, 1954 at Holy Angels Catholic Church in St. Cloud. Joyce was a homemaker all her life. She was a charter member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, Catholic United Financial, the Legion of Mary, and the Little Rock Lake Association.
Joyce enjoyed embroidery, fundraising, golfing and bowling. She was a quiet and kind woman who loved her kids and grandkids, enjoying the time spent with them at the cabin. They will miss her chicken rice hot dish and Rice Krispie bars.
She is survived by her children, Bob (Karen) Hengel of Sauk Rapids, Sue (Bob) James of Flagstaff, AZ, Kevin (Lori) Hengel of Horace, ND, and David (Kelley) Hengel of Bemidji, MN; 18 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren; brother, Jim (Diane) Raden; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Vic in January of 2025; daughter, Kathy "JoJo"; son Steven; grandson, Michael; great-grandson, Mason; siblings, Carol Raden, Colette Raden, Rosie Faerber, Tom Raden, Jerry Raden, and Bill Raden.
A Special Thank You to All the Staff of St. Benedict Senior Community for all the care given to Joyce during her time there.
