Joyce Rahder Hartwick, 76, passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side on September 25, 2014 at her home in Flagstaff, AZ.
Born to Leroy and Louise Rahder in Helena, Montana on October 10, 1937. Joyce had just celebrated 58 wonderful years of marriage on September 2nd to her loving husband Robert “Bob” Hartwick. She loved spending time with her family, friends and especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed sharing stories of her childhood and her life adventures with Bob raising their children in Victorville and Needles, CA.
She had belonged to the Junior Women’s Club of Victorville, CA, the Soroptimist Club in Needles, CA, and was the staple that kept the Needles Chamber of Commerce together for several years. Sewing was a special talent and there wasn’t anything she couldn’t put together, create, cover, or fix. Although her biggest passion had to have been cards and she would corral anybody and everybody into playing a boisterous game of Shanghai. She was quick-witted, light-hearted, kind, and had a very unselfish, giving soul.
Daughter of and preceded in death by her parents Leroy and Louise Rahder and by her son William “Billy” David Hartwick of Needles, CA. Joyce is survived by her husband Bob; her children Colleen (Ford) Brochheuser of Flagstaff, AZ; Robert “Robby”(Debbie) Hartwick of Mojave Valley, AZ; and daughter-in-law Eileen Hartwick of Needles, CA; 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
