Mary "Joyce" "Joyce" Repinski

Mary "Joyce" Repinski (or Joyce to those who knew her because of so many "Mary's" in the family) was born in, Oak Park, IL, on November 11, 1958, to the late Dana and Mary (Adkins) McCormick. She left this world to join the Lord and the angels on Sunday, June 22, 2025. Joyce had four siblings, Dana McCormick, Blanche Bonnell, Pinkie Wood, and Audie McCormick. She married her one true love, Frank Repinski, on August 7, 1976; the best day of her life as she would say. She had three amazing children, her favorite son, John; her favorite daughters (who varied on who was the favorite) Beth and Mary; and her five wonderful grandchildren.

Joyce considered friends family. She loved her family above all else. She had visitors at her home at all hours of the day and because of this, her home was dubbed "Grand Central Station". She loved hosting famous family gatherings and the meals and love that came with them. Joyce lived a life of service to all around her. She lived to help others. Her many acts of kindness gave her a purpose in life. Joyce was a second mother and nana to so many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren which made her heart shine. She loved traveling, especially with her sisters, and going to Florida. Joyce was fortunate to visit places all around the world. She was so loved and will truly be missed by all. Although we are all mourning, she would prefer that we celebrate her life and remember the happy times and memories together.

Survivors include her husband of over 48 years, Frank Repinski; her son, John (Rhonda) Repinski; her daughters, Beth (Fred) Staub, and Mary Repinski; her grandchildren, Tyler, David, Taylor, Alexis, and Elias; and her siblings, Blanche Bonnell, Pinkie (Dexter) Wood, and Audie (Joyce) McCormick. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Dana and Mary; her brother, Dana McCormick; and her brother-in-law, Bill Bonnell.
