Joyce was a life-long resident of Council Bluffs, but was born in Logan, Iowa, to Jacob (Jake) and Gladys Mary (Savery) Weber on January 14, 1933.
She attended school in Harrison County and graduated from high school in 1951. She married Jack Franklin Henderson, of Logan, in 1952, and they had three sons, Randall Jack Henderson, who resides in Ankeny, Iowa, Daniel Lee Henderson, who resides in Washington, Iowa, and Martin Ray Henderson, who resides in Colorado Springs, Colo. A fourth child, Sheri Henderson, died shortly after birth. After 1960, Joyce raised her three boys as a single parent, and worked for various railroad companies. She worked as a stenographer for the Union Pacific Railroad, in Omaha, Neb., and later the Chicago-Northwestern Railroad, in Council Bluffs. She attended First Christian Church, in Council Bluffs, and toward the end her life was a member of Southside Christian Church where her nephew, Scott Weber, was the pastor. Joyce loved music and played several instruments including the piano, the accordion and the clarinet. She loved to dance and enjoy the company of other single parents through the organization, Parents Without Partners. Above all, she found strength and solace in her faith in God and hope for her children. She was a dedicated mother and grandmother and was generous to all those around her.
She is survived by her three sons; brother, Duane Weber and his wife Marceta, of Logan; three grandchildren, Zachary Henderson, Christopher Henderson and Meredith Henderson; 2 great-grandchildren, Tyler Daniel Henderson and Sagan Lee Corbin; nieces; nephews; and a host of other family and friends.
