“The passing of Joyce Schott is announced with saddened hearts.
She & her husband Pete were never far apart.
They were happily married for sixty-nine years.
Losing her is unimaginable & brings so many tears.
She was surrounded by love from her friends & family.
All who met her thought she was simply lovely.
She lived a life full of love, patience, determination, strength & kindness.
Her display of resilience & words of wisdom provided a needed guidance.
Joyce was known as a gardener, reader, seamstress, camper, & bird watcher.
Lest we forget, also a boater, fisherwoman, & an avid JCPenney shopper.
We shall find solace in the beautiful memories created & shared.
Always remembering & knowing how much Joyce cared.
Though her loss brings an ever-lasting void to those left behind,
In our lives, she will be forever entwined.”
