JOYCE GENELDA COCHRAN PERKINS LEIBY

JOYCE GENELDA COCHRAN PERKINS LEIBY, age 90, a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ, heard her Savior say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!", on September 9, 2025.
Joyce, the oldest of seven children, was born January 14, 1935, to Robert F. and Bessie Jane Cochran in Webster County, WV. When she was only 8 years old, she made the most important decision of her life.
She asked Jesus to forgive her sins and become Lord of her life. That decision would shape the rest of her life.
Joyce was preceded in death by her parents Bessie and Robert, her beloved husbands, Harold "Pat" Perkins (23 years) and John "Jake" Leiby (27 years); son John Perkins; stepson, Kent Leiby; sisters, Shelva Jones and Lynn Williams.
Joyce will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
She is survived by her son, Chuck (Dawn) Perkins; step-children, Jane Leiby and John Leiby Jr.; daughter-in-law, Michelle Perkins Gismondi; grandchildren Rob (Jessica) Perkins, Shawn (Jessica) Perkins, Katie, Kellie and Kimberly Perkins, Jane Kim, and John Leiby III; great granddaughter, Felicity Perkins; brothers Bobby (Sandra) Cochran, Larry (Becky) Cochran, Max (Vivian) Cochran; sister, Hope Thomas; brother-in-law, Carl Williams; sister-in-law, Jayne Krohn; and several cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
