Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. – Luke 1:38
Joyce Marie Kirk is free.
Joyce was born in the Black Hills of South Dakota on August 6, 1958. She dedicated her life to God and her family. She was devoted to her Catholic faith, consecrated to Mary, and practiced the “little way” of simple, honest expressions of great love.
She loved music, dancing, swimming, reading, writing, praying, nature, the moon, the stars and baking with her grandchildren. She was a keen observer of life and she remembered little details about everyone and everything. She loved deeply and was deeply loved.
She was called home on October 7, 2021 and is resting in the arms of our Lord.
She was preceded in heaven by her sons James Robert and Jason Theodore Kirk, and her parents James Cletus and Mary Catherine Coyle. She is survived by her beloved husband Mark Kirk, her daughters Jessica Kirk and Katherine Martin, her son-in-law Billy Martin and grandchildren Liam, Jack, and Ava Martin. She is also survived by her siblings Barbara Williams (Brian), Elizabeth Veren, Madonna Sullivan, Michael Coyle (Ella), Mary Lou Creighton, Patty Jo Pantling (Jim) and Aileen Matthews (Bruce) and many nieces and nephews.
