On December 25, 2022, Joyce Marlene Yelton, 80, peacefully passed away in her home, to go be with the Lord. She was lovingly surrounded by her devoted husband, Gary; daughter, Darlene; and grandson, Joshua.
Joyce is preceded in passing by two grandsons, Shane Michael Bevington and Zachary Wayne Gentry; in addition to her great grandson, Zane Lancaster. May they all rest in peace.
Her survivors include her devoted husband of 47 years, Gary Wayne Yelton;
her daughters, Darlene Clark, Kari Goens, Jill (Mike) Miller; son, Matt (Ginger) Yelton; grandchildren, Joshua, Katie (Kevin), Brittany (Brandon), Kenton (Morgan), Madison (Anthony), Kiley, and Karlie; and great grandchildren, Peyton, Mila, Kade, and Barrett.
Joyce was a 1960 Miamisburg High School graduate. She began her career as an Admin Assistant working for NCR in Dayton, Ohio, then quickly excelled to an Executive Secretary for The Mound Labs before transferring to Rockwell Labs in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Joyce ended her successful career, retiring in 2003 from Intel, in Portland, Oregon.
Her skill of keeping scientists and engineers organized and moving forward was unprecedented, earning her many awards.
“Joy” as she was known by, had many friends and loved ones throughout the United States. She enjoyed outdoor adventures with family and friends such as camping, snowmobiling, mushroom hunting, horseback riding, or just a leisurely drive through Ohio, Idaho, Oregon, and Tennessee.
Mom and Dad were always active and loved to travel.
Joy was an avid reader, loved classical music, gardening, cooking, and Bible studies with her sisters-in-law.
One of the favorite things that her children loved about her, was her incredible cooking and baking! They would always get into trouble for sneaking into the baked goods while she wasn’t looking.
She will be greatly missed!
The family is extremely grateful for One Source Hospice, for the exceptional end-of-life care, a BIG Thank you to the nurses and CNAs who went above and beyond to ensure Mom was comfortable, as well as Dad (her 24-hr. primary care giver) during this transition.
The family would also like to thank all involved for your love, prayers, support, and well wishes, as we grieve the loss of Joyce.
