Joyce was born April 9, 1937 to William and Annie (Pedledski) Demaniow in Belfield, ND. She grew up on a family farm northwest of Belfield and attended country grade school. She went to Model High School in Dickinson and then attended college. On July 9, 1956, Joyce married Edward Scheeler and the couple was blessed with four children.

Joyce enjoyed gardening and tending to her flowers. She was also a great cook, especially her cheese buttons. In their younger days, Joyce and Ed enjoyed going out dancing. Joyce loved shopping, she was an avid collector of shoes and many other “treasures”. Joyce was very fond of visiting with family and friends and seldom missed an opportunity to chat. She will be remembered for her selfless attitude and willingness to help others.
