Joyce Lane, 93, of Meridian, died Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at a local care facility. Services are under the direction of Accent Funeral Home and Cremation, Meridian.
Joyce Lucille Lane, 93, passed away on September 25, 2019 in Meridian, Idaho. Joyce was a Christian woman, a woman devoted to her Savior, so we know she was not alone when she died.
Joyce was born June 12, 1926 in Niotaze, Kansas to Elvie and Robert Ehler. She was raised as an only child, but did have a sister who passed away as an infant.
Joyce graduated from North High High School, home of the Wichita Redskins, in 1945.
Joyce’s love for learning continued throughout her life. Her face would light up as she spoke of her ability to do shorthand and would often practice her skill on a stenographer’s notebook.
Joyce was working at Caldwell’s in Wichita when she met her soon to be husband, Melvin Lane. They had a short courtship and were married October 24, 1946, when she was 20 years old.
Melvin and Joyce started their family in Wichita with the birth of Clifford Dennis and Melva Jo.
Joyce was happy in her new life as wife and mother. In 1956, Melvin, Joyce and their two children moved to Puyallup, Washington where Melvin would continue his employment at Boeing in Seattle, Washington.
After moving to Puyallup, Karen Lynn was born and then Kari Lee. During this time, Joyce participated in church activities, often being a Sunday school teacher, and would host some church parties at home. She enjoyed being hospitable and often prepared wonderful meals that she labored over, for hours.
In 1978, Melvin and Joyce said "yes" to an invitation from Danny and Melva Bade to work with them in their bee business. Melvin and Joyce relocated and set down roots in Oregon until their move to Idaho.
In 1984, Melvin and Joyce moved to Meridian, Idaho. Joyce was happy to be around more of her children and grandchildren, with some camping and boating adventures, or just sharing a meal together.
In their retirement years, Melvin and Joyce spent many years traveling to warmer climates. Postcards and letters would be sent to the family, letting them know where they were. Mom particularly loved the Amish ways of simple living, their devotion to God and handcrafted items.
Joyce loved to read books and she shared that love with a few of her family members. She would recount how exciting the Zane Gray book was that she had just completed. She continued to love learning and would read Reader’s Digest, Louis L’Amour books, countless magazines and Grace Livingston Hill novels.
She had a love for music and passed that love for good, toe-tappin’ music onto her family. She was infatuated with Elvis and would often turn her head when he got a little too vibrant in his dance. She had a deep affection for Jimmy Swaggert’s piano playing and his fiery ability to preach. Joyce played the piano and a silver colored C melody sax which has been restored and in the family.
Joyce was a member of the Assembly of God church. She was known as a prayer warrior and faithful defender of God’s word. She was often seen reading her Bible and praying for her family.
Joyce was preceded in death by her sweet, tenderhearted husband, Melvin; her parents; and her infant sister. She is survived by their children: Dennis of Stevensville, Montana; Melva of Donnelley, Idaho; Karen of Eagle, Idaho; and Kari of Waitsburg, Washington, along with their spouses; 13 grandchildren; 30 great grandchildren; and multiple nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at Eagle Christian Church, located at 100 Short Lane Eagle, Idaho on October 11, 2019 at 12:00 PM.
