Sorry to learn of Joyce's passing. So many good memories of growing up in the same neighborhood as the Overocker family. Roger and Joyce were great friends and neighbors. My deepest sympathy to Roger and the girls.

The Lundgren family was so sad to hear of Joyce's passing. We all have such great memories of her. Church, Sunday School, Circle meetings, 4-H—the list goes on & on. She was always so upbeat. We often shared smiles about our families of "all girls", & how we all loved our girls. Our prayers are with all of you girls, your families, & your dear Dad. What a couple they were! Cherish your wonderful memories, for I know you must have MANY! Love to all of you—Vivian & Ardell Lundgren

What a lady Joyce was and what a legacy she leaves for so many people! Remembering a beautiful life…I had the privilege of knowing Joyce almost my whole life. My parents (George & Muriel Heins) moved in as farm neighbors to Roger & Joyce in the early-mid 1950's…they were all so young and busy having their babies! I grew up almost as one of her daughters. She included me in her infamous car runs, since my mother did not drive for years when I was a young girl. Joyce would pick me up to play in the real doll houses and she would serve us young girls the most wonderful picnic lunches with treats, cookies, and Kool-Aid drinks in those colorful tin glasses. Then she always included me in trips with her daughters to roller skating lessons in Arnolds Park during those wonderful Okoboji summers. I don't forget all the cherished birthday parties with all those farm kids and the May Day car runs with the most exclusively decorated and filled May Day Baskets on cookie sheets…Wow!
When our father (George Heins) suddenly passed away in July 1983, Joyce & Roger were one of the first people there with lots of coffee and oodles of homemade food for all of us! She only continued to be there to help my mother for years…dropping off fresh garden bounty at my mother's doorstep on just one of her runs to town. In her infamous and unlimited car runs, they both were always there to pick-up my mom and Roger seemed to enjoy escorting two ladies to all the various places they would go.
However, Joyce's car runs were not limited to Spirit Lake, but all over. I remember Joyce even driving to Sioux Falls with coolers of homemade food dishes for her daughter with my mother in tow and to drop me off for returning to Arizona. Just a few years ago, I was elated to be included in one of her birthday lunches with her daughters in the Park. Remember all those weekly Thursday morning breakfast meetings at The Grill & Kegler's Kitchen? They were a must for me to attend and catch up while visiting back home. They were friends that went back 60-70 years and they still met at the breakfast table every week for years! I might add that our family farm has been in the hands of Roger & Joyce since my family sold it to them.
Thankfully, after being informed by one of those grand ol' neighbors & birthday partying girls from our childhood days, Betty Phillips-Wernimont, my husband & I just made the rounds to see Joyce in the nursing home along with Roger and all his girls just ten days before her passing and do I feel so lucky, again! That Sunday she was missing out on the Fall Family Fiesta and urged us to stop in at Marlys's. We did and it reminded me of all those good old days of wonderful food and family.
Joyce never slowed down! And…at 83-84 yrs young, sub-zero temperatures did not keep her home during a Spirit Lake girls' basketball game. And…her rain bonnets, I actually have a couple! They work! I wish I could be there for the celebration of her life right now and wear one. I know the tears must be flowing like rain right now and you will all bloom again in so many ways because of her and what she taught you. To Roger, your wife…To all her five daughters, Connie, Jeanie, Vicki, Marlys, & Cheryl, your Mother…To all the grandkids, your Grandma…To all her son-in-laws…and my friend …She was a very special lady! How many miles do you think she logged??

The love and help Joyce and her Mom and Dad showed to Jim Merklin during the depression led to a life-long friendship for Jim and his family! Such kindness is a tremendous example to what a wonderful family Joyce was part of. The Merklin's send our sympathies to Joyce's family.

Grandma was always putting everyone in front of her own needs. So many memories and chats. We would laugh at so many things she did yet those things are the very reason she was a great grandma. We always teased her about her rain bonnet and she would shake her head and continue along. When I started homeschooling our kids, she kept telling me: " make sure they know how to use a computer. All these kids today typing and everything is done on a computer".
Her frosted brownies-- so yummy, helping her butcher chickens and chasing the cousins around with chicken feet while grandma put her foot down and said stop chasing them. Summers spent chatting through the kitchen window or cutting ends off of string beans and going to all the bowling leagues.
It just doesn't seem real your gone. You are forever in my heart and all the memories I hold onto. I love you so much and it kills me I didn't get to say good bye last night but I know you know how much your treasured.
Your legacy lives on.
