Joyce L. Horvath passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025 at the age of 93. Joyce was born on December 9, 1931 to Paul and Lucille Carlson. In 1951, she married Edward Horvath. They had more than 50 years of adventures together. Joyce was an avid reader and bridge player. When she was not seated at the card table or talking about Indy car racing, she could be found putting together a jigsaw puzzle or working on a crossword puzzle. She is survived by her daughter, Susan (John) Holewinski of Fort Myers, Florida; son, Joseph Horvath of Two Rivers, Wisconsin; son, Thomas (Cheryl) Horvath of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; by six grandchildren: Holly (Frank) Mannino, Trevor (Amber) Holewinski, Joshua (Jane) Holewinski, Megan (Matthew) Poytinger, Brett (Kristin) Horvath, and Justin (Erin) Horvath; and by thirteen great-grandchildren. She is pre-deceased by her parents, her beloved husband, and her sister, Joann Carey. A private ceremony will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank everyone at Vi Bentley Care Center and the Hospice team at Vitas, who took such wonderful care of Joyce.
