Joyce Stilen Obituary
Shiocton - Joyce Stilen, age 89 of Shiocton, passed away on July 30, 2020, at Living Tree Estates in Greenville.
She was born on May 23, 1931, to the late Alfred and Annie (Stadler) Roberts. On April 28, 1951, she was united in marriage to Maurice Stilen in Oshkosh. He preceded her in death on March 25, 2009.
She was a person that enjoyed being outside taking in the things that nature had to offer. Joyce loved to mow the lawn, watch the birds, gardening, canning, and cooking. She also liked the many motorcycle rides with Maurice, and snowmobile trips. Joyce taught her granddaughters how to make her famous "circles", which were sewn into many bedspreads, blankets, and various coverings. Joyce and her cat, Tommy, were best friends.
Joyce was especially fond of all the memories she created with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her children: Wayne (Cathy) Stilen, Debra (Charlie) McNabb, and Steve Stilen; grandchildren: Sandy (Jesse) Le Noble, Julie (Brad) Wunderlich, Wayne "Bean" Stilen, Michael (Tina) McNabb, Debra (Dave) Hammond, David (Nicole) McNabb, and Michelle (Ryan) Stilen; 20 great-grandchildren: Bryce, Chase, Onnie, Katelynn, Kyle, Jaydon, Kenley, Daniel, Marah, Mackenzie, Branden, Bailey, Nathaniel, Megan, Payton, Abigail, Michael Jr., Oliver, Alex, Hunter, Hannah, Emilie, Faith, Zachary, Braeden, Mylah and Ryker; two great-great-grandchildren: Elijah and Kaizen. She is further survived by her sisters: Gladys (Clyde) Meyer and Laura (Rick) Kuehn; brother, John (Joan) Roberts.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a grandson, Daniel Stilen; brothers: Francis Roberts, James Roberts, Fabian Roberts, Tom Roberts, and Paul Roberts; sister, Anna Burch.
