I want to give my sincere sympathy to the Aupperle family. Renee and Sonja my heart is sad right now, I had no idea your mom had passed until Anita told me today. I surely would have come to the celebration of life for your mom. I often think of the afternoon my mother and I spent with Joyce, Renee, and Sonja. what a special moment.
She was truly a good friend, and will be missed.
Darrell Aupperle was a first cousin to my Dad, Merlin Rauscher, so I knew
Joyce when my parents were still here with us. It’s been quite a few years now since I have seen Joyce, but I still remember the times we visited & spent time together. . I would like to express my sincere sympathy to all of Joyce’s family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts & prayers in the days ahead. RIP Joyce ……from Rita (Rauscher) Bartzatt
We are so sorry for your loss. Joyce was an amazing and admirable lady who will be missed by so many. I am grateful for the past 24 years of friendship with this wonderful lady. Her laugh and stories will be missed.
I just seen this, what a shock to my soul. Joyce was always so kind and caring to me, I thought of her as a second mom. She always gave me such great advice and cheered me up when I was hurting. She will be surely missed and I will never forget her.
Joyce was one of my favorites. She had such a sharp mind and fun personality .
We are saddened by your loss. I have many fond memories of your mother and will miss her. I am so thankful for the time(s) she gave me.
God bless,
Anita & Mike Miller

We have an angel watching over us.
She is our mom.
❤️ Love, Renee,Sonya, Jen.Aaron
Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow.Joyce was such a sweet lady I feel honored to have had the chance to get to know her and work along side her. R.I.P. my friend .
Dearest Renee and siblings,
I have been thinking about your mom for months, and now find that she is no longer with us. I am so sorry I had not had the time to call…
Your dad and my mother-in-law (Rexine Pease) were first cousins. My husband, Joe, idolized Darrell, who was ~ 7 years older than he. While I only saw you kids a few times over your growing-up, after Mom Pease passed, I’d kept up with Joyce (or she with me, truth be told!) for many years. If you can find my phone number and/or address in her effects, (or if you have access to my e-address here!) please reach out. I was just getting ready to call to catch her up about Joe and prefer not to elaborate on this memory page. Joyce was a wonderful lady: strong, hard-working, funny, and compassionate. I feel honored to have been ‘related’ to her! With love to you all, Dorene Pease
