Joyce Ann Juby

Joyce Ann Juby, age 87, left the limitations placed upon her by health problems and peacefully entered the presence of her Lord the night of March 16, 2024 at Guest Home Estates in Caney, Kansas. Joyce Ann (Ginger) was born on September 10, 1936 in Dewey, Oklahoma to Dewey and Esther Harris. She grew up in Dewey with her sisters where she accepted Christ and was baptized at the age of 9 at Journeycake Memorial Baptist Church. Joyce Ann attended local schools graduating from Dewey High School in 1954. She began her work career at Cities Service Oil Company in Bartlesville. Joyce Ann married William (Bill) Juby in August of 1955 and they moved to Oklahoma City where her new husband was attending Oklahoma City University, and they began what would become their 69 years of life together.

In 1958 the couple moved back to Dewey where they started raising their family. In 1962, while remaining proud “Okies”, they moved to Independence, Kansas where Joyce Ann was employed by Dr. Edgar H. Beahm and Bill went to work in Public Education. She began working for Standard Motor Products (Automotive Controls Corporation) and held various positions until her retirement in 2003.

Joyce Ann enjoyed many activities over the course of her life, but her primary love and focus was always her family, her Church, and God. She was a member of First Southern Baptist Church in Independence for 61 years.
