age 95, of Pembine, passed away at home on Sunday, February 7, 2021 surrounded by loving family and friends. She was born in Pembine, WI on June 27, 1925; daughter of the late Hiram and Margaret (Willis) Stevens. Joyce graduated from Pembine High School in 1944. After graduation she went to Chicago for several years to work as a Nanny and then returned to Pembine to work at the Mine. Joyce met the love of her life, Phil, in Pembine where he worked for the DNR. The couple was united in marriage on December 7, 1957. In 1970 the couple moved to Wautoma and then in 1974 to Tomahawk. They returned to Pembine in 1994 to spend their retirement years.
Although they never had children of their own, they lovingly poured their hearts into fostering. Joyce enjoyed her annual sturgeon fishing expeditions with her sister-in-law Jean. She taught Sunday School for many years and devoted her time to many charitable activities at Grace Lutheran Church.
