We are humbled to sum up the amazing life of our mother, Joyce RaNee Riggs. Joyce was born in Ashton, Idaho, on April 13, 1932, to Dalton and Gwendolyn Ard Strain, and returned to her Heavenly Father on January 11, 2023.
Joyce married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Jack Riggs, on June 2, 1950, in Ashton, Idaho. Jack pushed her through town in a wheel-barrow! Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple. Jack and Joyce shared a special everlasting love for nearly 65 years here on earth. What a glorious reunion they are enjoying, hand in hand, for eternity.
Jack and Joyce have three children, Jeff (Bev) Riggs, Jill Saddler, and Julie Hodson; ten grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. Joyce has two brothers, Jack (Peggy) Strain and Craig (Julie) Strain.
Her greatest calling was being a loving and wonderful mom. A big part of her and Jack’s life were their horses. Joyce was nominated as secretary for the Appaloosa Horse Club. Joyce reminisced often of her favorite job and the people she worked with at Chesbro Music Company.
Thank you for all the beautiful memories, your love will always be our guide. You will forever be our angel.
