Joyce Meyer Obituary
In her early years her parents farmed until the depression and WWII. The family moved to Ft. Collins, CO and Berkeley, CA to find work. Many summers were spent on her grandparents farm near Hawleyville and her parents returned to farming in 1944. She graduated from Clarinda High School in 1946 and then worked at Bell Telephone as a switchboard operator. Years later she worked part-time during tax season in a local lawyer's office in Clarinda.
She married Wendell J. Meyer at St. John Lutheran Church in Clarinda on Nov. 23, 1947. She was confirmed and became a member of St. John. Upon Wendell's passing in 1981 she continued to live at the Clarinda farm until moving to the home of Alan and Miriam in Eastern Iowa 16 years ago in 2009. She lived with Alan and Miriam over ten years and moved with them to Wyoming to be closer to family six years ago.
Joyce was dedicated to her family and in the early years was busy on the farm, raising children, gardening, canning, sewing and being active in the community including church and 4-H. The family hosted AFS exchange students from Austria and Sweden. Joyce's quick wit, storytelling, humor, and loving compassion were enjoyed by family, friends, and caretakers alike.
She is survived by her son, Alan Meyer (Miriam) WY and daughters Julie Farrens (Dale Kohler) MO, and Jeanine Dalzell (John) PA. Surviving her is a sister Birdice Torgove (CO). Also surviving her are five grandchildren: Eric Netolicky, Joel Dalzell, Nathan Meyer, Jessica Huntsberger, Adrian Meyer and their spouses. In addition are eleven great-grandchildren and numerous nieces & nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Wendell (1981), sister Barbara DesJardien and brother Jay Clark.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent for St. John Lutheran Church, Clarinda, Iowa or American Legion, Clarinda, Iowa.
The funeral service will be Saturday, Nov. 29th at St. John Lutheran Church in Clarinda at 11:00 with visitation at 10:00. A luncheon at the church will follow the service. She will be interred at the Clarinda Cemetery.
