In 2001 Joyce moved to Belle Fourche, SD to be closer to her family. She retired in 2008. Joyce enjoyed her flower and vegetable gardens very much, and she had quite the “green thumb”. She also had a great love for animals and music. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and grandkids. She loved them very much. Joyce also was passionate about reading books. She spent much time at the Belle Fourche library, checking out books and volunteering her help when needed. She enjoyed watching Jeopardy on television every night. Joyce cared greatly for other people also, and gave a lot of herself to help out the neighbors in her apartment building. Joyce is survived by her daughter, Kristen (Mike) Thiel of Belle Fourche; sons, Timothy Stebar of Billings MT, Lawrence Stebar of Fort Collins, Colorado; brother, Jim (Denise) Wyburn of Dayton, OH; and 5 grandchildren, Kimberly Morth, Casey and Rebecca Thiel, and Tyler and Devin Stebar. May God Bless You and Keep You Safe and Sound!
