Joyce C. Lyng

Joyce was a real fan of Sauk Centre and Sinclair Lewis . I also am and own a small farm near Wadena . The first time i met her was at the Visitors' Center . The last time i saw here was last summer when the Sinclair Lewis Society held a three cay conference in Sauk Centre . We talked from time to time on the about writing and Lewis and family . She was a lovely person and was always smiling . May she rest in peace .

Joyce was a constant supporter of so many things for Sauk Centre. We grew to admire her dedication and determination and we supported any cause she was taking up at the moment. She was kind and sweet, and believed in everything. What a wonderful lady and now heaven has a great organizer, fundraiser, cheerleader! God bless you Joyce!

To Joyce's family - We are saddened to learn of Joyce's passing. We had the pleasure of visiting her a few years ago. Wonderful family member and we will miss her. Phil and Nell Barnard

I was deeply saddened to hear of Joyce's passing. I was a caregiver to her for a year and enjoyed our weekly visits and conversations. She always loved to hear the stories of my family and our adventures and vice versa! May she sing her heart out for the angels above! She definitely will be missed by many <3

A bright spark in our community... Always pleasant and a lovely smile...and loved to visit..she will be missed. Sympathy to her family and her sister Muriel. Life won't be the same in this ole neighborhood,, especially not seeing her full patio of flowers..Rest now Joyce,,your work here is done.

To Joyce's family: On behalf of the Sinclair Lewis Foundation, we are saddened that Joyce has passed away. For decades, she was a faithful advocate for Sinclair Lewis, the Sinclair Lewis Foundation as well as for the community. Her energy, insight and humor will be missed. She was truly a "good soldier" who never gave up in the face of her physical limitations.

So sorry to hear of Joyce's passing! She was a great lady!! She will be missed much, and by many.
