Obituary of Joyce Louise Buckley

Joyce Louise McFarlane Buckley passed away Saturday September 7th 2019 from complications due to Alzheimer ’s disease. At an early age discovering her love of music and singing, Joyce volunteered her time and lovely soprano voice to her Church whether in chorus or solo performance. Her love of singing was only surpassed by her strong religious faith, always grateful to God for the blessings bestowed upon her large or small. Her faith, we strongly feel supported her through these past few difficult months. Joyce raised her two daughters (who were always first in her heart) as a single parent while working fulltime. Her work ethic was legendary as she never sought the “fancy” stuff but instilled in her daughters that “good honest work” was its own reward and the only one really worth having. A strong woman who faced and beat cancer twice (once in her 70’s!) she had an indomitable spirit that continues to be an example to us all. Joyce also loved the out of doors, camping, picnicking and her daily walk which she continued right into her later years. She also had a life-long love of animals; a home wasn’t a home unless there were at least a couple animals living there. She will be greatly missed but remembered by her Sister Carol Franz, Daughters Deborah Dodson and Ann Justice, her son-in-law Douglas Justice, her three Grandsons along with the rest of her family and friends and the entire Buckley Clan. While no service is planned, a gathering during the holidays with her beloved family will be held in her honor.
