Joyce F. King

December 28, 1942 — August 17, 2023

Joyce F. King, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2023, in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Born on December 28, 1942, in Wisconsin, Joyce lived a full and vibrant life, marked by her love for her family, her passion for gardening, and her enduring love for animals.


Joyce spent her entire life in Big Bend, Wisconsin, where she built her home on her father's property. Her yard was her masterpiece, a testament to her green thumb and her love for the outdoors. Her love for animals was evident in the care she took of her pets.


Joyce was known for her humor, wisdom, and loving nature. Her wise words were a source of comfort and guidance for her family and friends. Her love for her family was immeasurable, and she was a cornerstone of strength and love in their lives.


Joyce is now reunited with her beloved husband, Thomas V. King, in Heaven. She leaves behind a loving family: her children, Thomas J. "Rusty" (Colleen) King, Bernadine (Randy) Rickert, and Deanna (Dan) Hardrath; her cherished grandchildren, Jenna, Tommy, Justin, Katy, Amie, Lauren, Nick, Quentin, and Breanna; and her 13 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her dear sister, Betty Ann (Joe) Peterson, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.


Joyce F. King will be remembered as a beacon of love, wisdom, and joy. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she loved and those who loved her.
