The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Thursday, July 3, 2014


Joyce Elaine Larson, 80, of Ionia, Michigan, went to be with her Lord on July 
1, 2014 in Grand Rapids.  She was born July 31, 1933 in Ionia, the daughter of 
Bernard and Gladys (Keift) Sible. 

Preceding Joyce in death were her parents, her sister, June, and three spouses 
Richard Adams, Robert Yeiter, and Francis Larson. 

Joyce is survived by her children, Bryant Adams of Ionia, Mark (Kathy) Adams of 
Saranac, Scott (Sue) Adams of Ada, Sherri (Jim) Kelley of Ionia, and Debbie 
(Nick) Almasy of Grand Ledge; step-children, Dick Yeiter of Wayland, Lee 
(Linda) Yeiter of Saranac, Susan (Jim) Huver of Ionia and Judy (Gary) Volker of 
Commerce; sisters, Jean Nelson of Ionia, Joan (Bill) Jones of Allegan, and 
Lorraine (Doug) Emelander of Saranac; brother-in-law, Dorne Avery of Ionia.  
She took great joy in her 17 grandchildren and step-grandchildren and three 
great-grandchildren. 

Joyce was a member of Shiloh Community Church, and former member of Easton 
United Methodist Church of Ionia, and First Christian Church of Ionia.  She 
enjoyed gardening, her flowers, crocheting, and knitting.  She loved cooking 
for her family especially at holidays when she made great pies and at family 
birthdays when she made the family favorite of chocolate cake with fluffy white 
frosting – we fought over the four corners pieces of a round cake.  Joyce loved 
to travel and visit with people - she was a good listener and comforter.  She 
made numerous tablecloths and afghans that brighten the homes of friends and 
family.  She loved hearing her children sing and was proud of the many 
accomplishments of all of those in her family.  Joyce will be greatly missed by 
all those who knew and loved her. 

Funeral services will be held 3 p.m., Monday, July 7, at Shiloh Community 
Church with Rev. Kenneth Harger officiating.  Visitation will be Monday 1 p.m. 
until time of services at the church.  Arrangements by Lake Funeral Home of 
Ionia.  Memorial contributions may be made to Shiloh Community Church.
