Joyce Cole – 2026 Joyce Marie Cole passed away in 2026, leaving behind a community of people whose lives were quietly and profoundly shaped by her presence. To those who knew her, Joyce was more than a family member. As an aunt, she occupied that special place that aunts so often do, someone who offered a different kind of love, a listening ear without judgment, and a warmth that made you feel genuinely seen. She had a way of showing up for the people she cared about, not just in the big moments, but in the ordinary ones that end up meaning the most. Joyce Marie was a woman who left her mark not through grand gestures, but through the steady, consistent way she loved the people around her. Her nieces and nephews, and all those fortunate enough to be drawn into her orbit, carry pieces of her with them, in the way she laughed, in the advice she gave, in the quiet comfort of simply knowing she was there. She is deeply missed by all who had the privilege of calling her family, and remembered with the kind of tenderness that does not fade. The world was better for having Joyce in it, and the people she loved will carry that truth forward.
