Karen E. Joyce, age 62, passed away peacefully on Monday afternoon, December 27, 2021, after a brief illness. Her passing occurred in the privacy and comfort of her home where she was surrounded by the love and support of her family at her side.
Born on March 27, 1959, in Northridge, California, Karen was the daughter of the late Walter and Joyce (Baum) Joyce.
She attended Herkimer schools and was a graduate from Herkimer High School with the Class of 1977.
For over twenty-one years, Karen has been employed as an Inventory Clerk with Remington Arms in Ilion.
Karen held a variety of interests and in her younger years was an avid bowler. She was also a very skilled pool shark, primarily 8 and 9 ball, along with being a member of the American Poolplayer's Association. She was also an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills and part of the Herkimer County Bills Backers.
Nothing gave Karen more joy than being surrounded by family and friends. She would do anything for anyone and was always outgoing, friendly and a social butterfly. She was charitable and giving and would often participate in cancer awareness events. She was also an ardent supporter of the Herkimer County Humane Society where at one time she held a position on the board and was a volunteer.
