Joyce Elizabeth Lloyd

1932 - 2025

Joyce Elizabeth Lloyd, born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on March 28th, 1929 to Harvey and Eunice Meyer, passed away on Thursday, April 24th, 2025. Joyce went to be with her Lord and Savior, while surrounded by her loving family.

As a child, Joyce enjoyed being the only sister to her four brothers, Harvey "Rock", Douglas, Richard, and Tom. Her days were filled with going to school and spending time with her many friends.

On March 20th, 1948 Joyce Meyer married the love of her life, Kenneth T. Lloyd. At the time of their marriage, Ken "Chirpy" took his lovely young bride to live on his farm in Pickett, Wisconsin. This farm was where Chirp and Joyce raised their 3 sons, Rick, Tom and Doug. Joyce was proud of her little family and loved that her boys were brought up on a farm.

Joyce had always envisioned herself as being a teacher, so she went to the University of Oshkosh to receive her teaching degree in 1964. Joyce was a well respected and loved educator in Oshkosh, Wisconsin spending most of her teaching career at Franklin School then going on to be the principal at Dale, E. Cook and Jacob Shapiro schools.

A pillar in her community, including being an Elder at Bethesda Church, Joyce served on her high school class reunion committee, the Elks Club, and her neighborhood committee, always committed to connection and community. She had an uncanny ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued-intentional in her words, kind in her actions, and proudly resolute in her strength.

Affectionately known as "Jee"", to those who loved her, Joyce was warm-hearted and witty, with a gentle presence and a steadfast spirit. She brought poise and purpose to everything she did-whether it was cheering for her Green Bay Packers, exploring new places through travel, camping, capturing moments with her camera, or tracing her family's lineage.

Joyce is survived by her son, Douglas James Lloyd (Kathy); her daughter-in-law, Ellen Marie Lloyd (T.H.); her grandchildren, Richard (Christy), Steven (Emily), Andy (Lisa), Ken (Nickie), Jerod (Shelby), Minda (Brad), Jessica (Josh), Bobby (Paula), Josh (Brittany), Jordan (Kelly), Spike (Melissa) Lloyd; thirty cherished great-grandchildren; and one great-great granddaughter.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Kenneth Thomas Lloyd; her sons, Richard Thomas Lloyd and Thomas Harvey Lloyd (Ellen); and her great-granddaughter, Rylee Elizabeth Lloyd.

A heartfelt thank you to her team at Moments Hospice and Allison Wehrmann, who provided love and care for her.

Jee will be deeply missed, but her spirit and legacy will continue to inspire those she loved and taught. "Here's looking at you, kid".
