Joyce then spent time traveling and volunteering at Hospice Care, but most importantly she loved spending time with her family and friends. She enjoyed playing cards and games, especially what she referred to as “Donimos,” and putting together jigsaw puzzles.

Joyce will be deeply missed by her family and friends. 
She is survived by her sons, Michael of Cresco and Steven (Laurie) of Iowa Falls; stepson, Jim Frisbie of Charles City, Iowa; grandchildren, Sybil Henry, Rachel (Jeromy) Sweeney, Dan Henry, Joanne Wilson, Chad Henry, Crystal Henry, Darla (Marty) Davis, Danita (Alex) Janssen, Heather Frisbie and Shelly Frisbie; many great-grandchildren; brothers, Gerald (May) Hilsman and Darrell Hilsman; sisters-in-law Jan Hilsman, Eunice Hilsman and Pam Lassahn; and special friend, Norman Schiedel. 
She was preceded in death by her parents; husbands; daughter, Carolyn; granddaughter, Deanna Bahr Latham; stepson, Richard Frisbie; and three brothers, Dale, Lyndon and David.
