Graham FH June 2022
Joyce Barnes, 72, of Norfolk, passed away with her daughters by her side on June 
9, 2022. Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Walter Barnes, just 
one month prior to her passing. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, 
Jacqueline Renee Saunders, her parents, Cecelia Marie Rossano Gearheart and 
Gordon James Gearheart, her brother, Gordon James "Jimmy" Gearheart, Jr., her 
best friend and Jimmy's fiancée, Nancy Denning, and her beloved brother-in-law, 
Ray Hutcheson.
She is survived by her daughters, Marie (Mike) Peace, Kimberly (Jamie) Good, 
Tammy (Kevin) Scott and Nicole (Chris) Holcombe, her sisters, Jackie Hutcheson 
and Diane (Don) Yungk. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 3 of which she 
cared for after the death of their mother and who cared for her as her health 
declined, Hunter Barnes and Faylinn and Demi Sauders. Joyce also leaves behind 9 
great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews that she loved deeply.
Joyce will be greatly missed, but we find comfort knowing she and Walter are 
together again.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. 
at Graham Funeral Home, 1112 Kempsville Road, Chesapeake. A funeral service to 
celebrate her life will begin at 1:30 p.m. She will be laid to rest beside her 
husband at St. Mary's Cemetery, 3000 Church St., Norfolk. Please visit her Book
