I was saddened to hear of Joyce’s passing. I grew up four houses down the street from the Kenney’s. Jeff and I were best buddies. I spent a lot of over at Their house/yard and got to know Robert and Joyce quite well. They also were good friends with my parents. May God comfort and bless your families during this difficult time. 🙏

My sympathies as you celebrate Joyce’s life well lived. Joyce trained me on her job on her retirement at NWB. She was devoted to her family.
I can’t help but think about childhood and all the fun Sunday gatherings we had at grandma and grandpa Kadings.
Love to you all.
Thank you, Joyce.
Your daughter-in-law,
Diane
