Joy’s Funeral Service:
Joy Elaine Bossert, 84, passed away September 9, 2022, at Eventide Senior Living Center, Fargo. She was born to Fred and Emma (Heiser) Bieber in Trail City, South Dakota on September 17, 1937. Joy graduated from McIntosh High School in 1955.
Joy married Robert Bossert on June 1, 1955. After spending time working road construction across North and South Dakota, they settled in Minot ND, living there for 52 years until they moved to Fargo in 2012 to be closer to family.
Throughout her life, Joy was a loving and devoted wife and mother raising 6 children. She loved spending time with family and made countless trips to numerous locations across the US for family gatherings. She was the heart of the family communication network and spent many hours on the phone passing along any and all information she could gather. She enjoyed camping, fishing, playing cards, especially bridge, occasional trips to the casino and shopping-especially looking for the ultimate bargain. One of her favorite pastimes was watching her children and later grandchildren participate in various sporting events.

Linda, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet mom. I remember all the times I would come over to your house to practice our cheering moves and I was always greeted with a big smile from your beautiful momma! Prayers for strength, no matter when or how we lose our parents it is so hard. Sending hugs!😘❤️🙏🏻
Bossert family,
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Joy. When we moved in to our first house by Bel Air School we were immediately welcomed by your parents. We couldn’t have asked for better neighbors. We enjoyed all the excitement from Joy and the gentle wisdom of parenting from Bob. They were always up for a visit when I would put the boys down for an afternoon nap. They celebrated first steps, shared recipes, and Bob even helped me trap a bunch of hornets when Brian was at work one day. They truly left a mark in this world in the people they encountered, helped, and loved along the way. We feel honored to have been among those people. Our deepest sympathies to you all.
