Joyce Elizabeth Jaquith, 78, passed away Thursday, December 19, 2024, at her home.
Born July 17, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Chester Orlando and Marion Louise (Lemieux) Gray.
Joyce retired from Sears in 2019 after over 30 years of service when their local store closed. She was affectionately known as the "Tool Lady" and knew the ins and outs of all the Craftsman Tools she sold.
Joyce enjoyed cooking, bingo and playing cards, especially Skipbo. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and loved eating hot wings. Her favorite times were those spent with family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Joyce is survived by her two children, Marianne Schroyer (Timothy) and George Scales (Deborah Vincent); two grandchildren, Matthew Gray (Megan McGinnis) and David Bradford (Emily Cagiwa); five great-grandchildren, Deysia Gray (Tyler Powell), Devin Bradford (Tanairy Pagua Rosa), Alana Mumford, Mason Gray and Aarion Bradford; three siblings, Carol Rubertiello, Jonathan Gray and Joan Hancock; a special friend, Lee Cross; and a host of nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Ward "Butch" Gray.
A funeral service will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, December 27, 2024, in Holloway Funeral Home, Salisbury. Visitation will be from 9:00 – 10:00 AM in the funeral home. Burial will follow in Willards Cemetery.
