Joyce Ann Acevedo-Hart, 62, of Jefferson City, passed away Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at Capital Region Medical Center. She was born on September 13, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois to Luis Acevedo and Jane Hill.
Joyce was a graduate of Hazelwood West High School and went on to graduate from Tarkio College, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree. She proudly served her country for over 35 years in the Missouri National Guard until her retirement in 2017 as a Sergeant Major. Though her list of accomplishments in the military is undoubtedly extensive, receiving the Meritorious Service Medal and leaving a legacy for generations to follow, were her most treasured accomplishments in the military.
Joyce took great pleasure in spending time with her friends and family. She was loved and adored by her family as a rock while being looked up to and respected by all who knew her. She was known for her giving heart. She always took people under her wing, mentored people, and was like a second mom to her children's friends. Joyce was a mom to many, including rescue dogs. She loved her pack, which included her Boxers and Chihuahua. She enjoyed entertaining friends with a glass of wine, having people over to spend time in her pool, going to music events, being outdoors, and experiencing joyous little adventures that were perfectly one of a kind.
She was preceded in death by her father, Luis Acevedo, and is survived by her mother, Jane Hill, and her daughters Dawn (Travis) Hart-Kerkvliet and Audrey Laczko. She was highly involved in her granddaughter's life, Nina Laczko and was affectionately called "Nana." She is also survived by her brothers and sisters, including Dean, William "Willie", Wilma, Carmen "Lety", and Sindia "Cindy". She also leaves many other family members and friends who will greatly miss her.
Friends will be received from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 4, 2021 at Houser-Millard Funeral Directors. Funeral services will follow at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Joe Case officiating. Interment with full military honors will follow at Riverview Cemetery.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to Central Missouri Honor Flight or K9 on the Front Line – Missouri.
Arrangements are under the direction of HOUSER-MILLARD Funeral Directors, 2613 West Main Street, Jefferson City, Missouri 65109 (573) 636-3838. Condolences may be left online for the family at www.millardfamilychapels.com.
