Lillian Joyce Montgomery, 94, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 12, surrounded by loved ones.
Joyce was a loving wife, mother, sister and grandma. Her greatest blessings in life were her two children, Les and Bonnie, who gave her 7 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren. Her family meant the world to her and brought her so much happiness. She enjoyed spending time with family and never stopped smiling when in the presence of all her grandchildren. Her smile was contagious, and she could light up a room. She taught our family the true meaning of love.
She was a hard-working and intelligent woman, and even at 94 years old she was as sharp as a tack. She loved to read and work puzzles. She was a compassionate woman who cared deeply for everyone and touched the lives of many. She was strong in her faith and reminded all of us that God has a reason for everything.
We will miss her sweet smile, gentle hand pats, and the cards she never forgot to mail each of us on holidays. We love you so very much! XOXO
