Keizer - Joyce was born in Colville, Washington On February 22, 1930 but her home was in Alladin a small rural area nearby. Growing up during the great depression had a big influence on her. She learned to be frugal and to take very good care of what little she had. She attended a small one room school house. Being somewhat a tom boy she enjoyed roaming the country side with her dog named Bloop. Occasionally skipping school with her cousin Kapper. Joyce was the youngest of four children. Francis Loiselle the eldest, followed by Generieve and brother Roy, all of whom proceeded her in passing.
In 1937, the family moved to Amity, Oregon pursuing an opportunity to farm, raise dairy stock and sell eggs. Joyce later attended Amity Union High School where she enjoyed playing to the volleyball team and track and field. Some of her memories were of this time of her life. She always looked forward to the Amity-Dayton rivalry football game, returning to watch many times. After graduation she worked at Oregon Mutual Bank in McMinnville, as well as the State of Oregon in Salem. On October 27, 1950 she married Walter R. Worden in Salem where they took up residence. Together they raised three children. First a daughter Vicky Ann followed by two sons Bradley John and Guy Allen.
In 1957, the family settled on a small acreage in Keizer where Joyce raised sheep among them, her favorite lamb, Georgie. Joyce was rarely idle. After raising her children she took up oil painting... filling her home with seascapes, landscapes and roses. She was blessed to have a public art showing at the Beaverton City Hall just months before passing. She was a member of the Keizer Art Association and the Salem Senior Center where she enjoyed singing as well as in the choir at Keizer Christian Church where she was proud to be a charter member. She enjoyed dancing and took lessons at France School of Dance well into her 50's. Joyce was blessed to have numerous grandchildren: Amanda Motley (Robert) of Keizer, Melody Maertens (Roland) of Mobile, Alabama, Travis Worden and Trent Worden of Salem, Nicole Worden of Silverton, and Austin Worden of Sacramento, California. Great-grandchildren include Jake, Garrett, and Roselyne, with one on the way.
One of Joyce's favorite places was the Oregon coast where she was laid to rest on a lovely hillside overlooking the Pacific ocean.
Per her request no funeral services were held. For those wishing, donations can be made to the Union Gospel Mission. Joyce would also encourage a visit to Keizer Christian Church where she found a warm and loving home to worship over a half a century.
