Joyce A. Richardson

Joyce Richardson, loving mother and wife, passed away at the age of 67, on May 23rd, 2024. Originally from Chicago, Joyce grew up in Illinois and completed her Bachelors of Science from Illinois State University. Joyce moved west in her early 20s, yearning for the world of unknown adventures (and definite sunny days) that California could provide. Upon moving to California, Joyce made many friends, ran marathons, participated in triathlons, traveled the world, got married, became a mother, and cooked many fantastic meals. She also loved wine, and worked at some wineries throughout her life in Sonoma. Joyce had unwavering dedication to her family and friends that made her unique. She exuded laughter, joy and selflessness, and aimed to always help others. Joyce was a woman that many knew, and all loved. This loss is intangibly large. She is survived by her Husband, George, children, Lily and Nicolas, along with brothers Bob, Gerry and Tom, and Sister, Kathy.
Friends are invited to attend the Memorial Mass, Friday June 21, 2024 at 11 a.m. at St. Leo's Catholic Church, Sonoma, California
