Joyce is further survived by her siblings and spouses, Don and Marion Cordie of Aitkin, Rose and Jerome Leavens of Flippin, AR, Eugene and JoAnn Cordie of Deerwood, and Virgil Cordie of Chico, CA; nieces; nephews; and other relatives and friends.
Mass of Christian Burial took place Saturday April 27 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Waconia with Father Martin Shallbetter as celebrant of the Mass. Interment was in the church cemetery.
