Joyce was born June 26, 1944, in Kenosha, WI to Hattie and Gus Sepanski.
She spent many years in in the Billing and Coding department for the medical field before retiring in 2012.
She kept active with her baking and cooking, her and her oldest sister Marilyn Skipper even had a "Cakes and Catering" business for a while in the 90's. After the business she kept her spare time busy with baking and cooking up a storm for family and friends. Oh how everyone loved her polish dishes and "Boob" cakes!!
She then moved to AZ to be closer to her daughter and granddaughter after retiring in 2012.
She couldn't sit still for long though, she soon started working at Walmart to keep her spare time occupied.
Everyone there loved her and she found some great new friends!
She is survived by her three oldest siblings, Marilyn Skipper, Robert Sepanski and Phyllis Martino.
At the family's request, no services will be held. Donations can be sent to Hospice of The Valley.

Growing up, my relationship with Aunt Joyce felt like she was the elder sister that I needed. Aunt Joyce was kind-hearted, considerate, supportive, and reliable. I enjoyed our special nights together during sleepovers. We played board games, and she always cooked my favorite foods. Aunt Joyce spoiled me with her undivided attention. We had lots of simple and uncomplicated times together, which allowed me to feel her affection. Most important, Aunt Joyce valued family and lived this value throughout her life. She lived for and especially loved Sheri and Avery. Aunt Joyce, thank you for the memories!! Love, Barb Skipper
