"A life well lived and much loved" Joyce left this earth leaving us with wonderful memories and lives rich with creativity, adventures and undying support. She was extremely proud of her children,13 grandchildren and 11great-grandchildren.

Joyce worked and impacted many lives during her long career as a school bus driver at Beaver Local where she was active in the union and school related activities. As her family it is frequently that we hear the comment "I rode Joyces bus", thank you to all her "bus kids" that have reached out, she truly enjoyed every encounter.
Later in life and a testament to lifelong learning Joyce obtained her real estate license and assisted many families in obtaining new homes which was her joy.
As a lifelong member of the First United Methodist Church of East Liverpool, she participated in many circles and groups as well as driving the church bus.
In her golden age, together she and Jim Burcham, the love of her life, spent over a decade of traveling and being together. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Joyce Ann (Starr) Wilson, please visit our Tree Store.
