Joyce Patricia Kelly of Long Beach, NY, passed away unexpectedly on November 8, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
A devoted wife, mother, sister, and aunt, Joyce is survived by her husband, John; daughter, Moira; son, David; sister, Stella Ryan; nephews, Timothy, Matthew (Annemarie), and Robert Ryan; and her cherished grandniece, Erin, and grandnephew, Sean Ryan.

My dearest Joyce! I will always remember our "special connection" and all our Christmas time dinners with Suzanne, our "play" dates and special times with each other, special friends and family! I will always miss you and I love you! Forever, Stella
