Joyce Krupnik Obituary
WELLSVILLE - Joyce B. Krupnik, 77, of 372 North Main Street, passed away Thursday (Jan. 2, 2025) at the Hart Comfort House, with her loving family at her side.
She was born Feb. 18, 1947, in Fillmore, the daughter of the late Walter and Lois Mills Beardsley. On July 3, 1982, in Wellsville, she married Stanley Krupnik, who survives.
Joyce was a graduate of Fillmore Central School and Houghton College, where she had studied social sciences.
Her love of the subject lead her into an education career, first at Pioneer Central School, and then moving to Wellsville where she taught history and English for the Wellsville Elementary School. There she inaugurated the beloved 'Explorer's Day,' bringing an innovative and immersive way of teaching students about European explorers as they dressed up as famous European explorers. Additionally, she produced the famous Wellsville Elementary Follies.
After her formal retirement from Wellsville, she could not resist the ability to use her educational skills working at Scio Central School as a reading intervention teacher.
Outside of her formal career, she was very involved in her community, teaching ninth-grade religious education for the Immaculate Conception Church; as a member and secretary of the Genesee Valley Chorus; she served as president of the Allegany County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired; she volunteered for Meals on Wheels and the Hart Comfort House; and was vice president of the Monday Club.
She also was a member of the Wellsville Country Club for over 50 years, and belonged to beta sigma phi, beta epsilon and delta kappa gamma. She loved to read and was a member of the Books & Wine Club.
Surviving in addition to her loving husband are two daughters, Jill Elizabeth Krupnik and Kathryn Francyn Krupnik; three brothers, Willis, Lynn and Roger Beardsley; and her beloved Scottish terrier, Belle.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her twin brother, Joel Alan Beardsley.
