Joyce Ann Weiker, affectionately known as Jo Jo and Joy Bug, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2024, in Northwood, Ohio. Born on February 13, 1946, in Huntington, West Virginia, Joyce was the beloved daughter of Georgia Eva (Tinsley) and James Scott Pettit.

A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she cherished her family above all else, nurturing their spirits with her love and laughter.
Joyce married Larry Jr. Wilkes in June 1964 and later found love again with Ron Walter Weiker, whom she married in June 1971. She was a passionate gardener, enjoyed listening to music and dancing, and held a special place in her heart for her church community.

Wilkes (Kay L.), her daughter-in-law Jennifer Wilkes, her grandson John Morgan Wilkes (Kristina), her grandson Kerry Hoot and granddaughter Elizabeth (Hunter) Sauerwein, and her great-grandchildren Kayden, James, Zachary, Rynn, and Iris.
