Joyce Marie Jung, born January 26, 1937 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin passed away peacefully at her home in Wautoma, Wisconsin on February 12, 2025 at the age of 88.
Joyce had a vivacious soul and achieved many accomplishments during her time on earth. As a devout Catholic, her younger years were spent raising a rambunctious 6-pack of children. She then worked for the Town Hall of Richfield for 24 years, eventually being promoted to Town Clerk, a position held in the highest regard. She thrived in the hustle and bustle of the busy work environment and her exuberant personality could be felt deep within the heart of her community.
After all her children were grown, Joyce and her loving husband of 70 years, LaVerne, embarked on a Hawaiian adventure most could only dream of. They purchased an oceanfront condo on the exquisite island of Maui and basked in awe-inspiring sunsets, whale watching, tropical breezes and long walks on the beach while splitting time on their lakefront home in Wautoma.
Family was held in the highest regard and Joyce was happiest when she was surrounded by her brood. Every Fourth of July was spent at the lake house in grand fashion with all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered around swapping stories and beers, enjoying the beautiful family Joyce masterfully cultivated. She was a true wonder and inspiration who will never be forgotten and forever live in our hearts.
Joyce leaves behind her husband, LaVerne Jung; children, Daniel (Sandra), Barbara, Cynthia (Archer), Mark (Cindy), Brian, John (Tammy), Tammy (Andrew); grandchildren, Tiffany, Daniel (Beth), Mark, Amy (Benjamin), Michael (Heidi), Trisha (Mitchell), Joseph, Jeremy, Darek; and great-grandchildren, Morgan, Jack (Morgan), Vincent, Mitchell, Lexi, Kate, Benjamin, Sam, and Annabelle and countless other family and friends. Private family services were held at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Wautoma. Stahl Funeral & Cremation Services assisted the family with arrangements, www.stahlfuneralhome.com.
