Joyce L. Sanford

On September 10 at 5:30 a.m., Joyce L. Sanford gained her angel wings and joined her parents, Edward and Velma Ward, her daughter, Gayle Starr, her sister, Lois Walthers, her brothers, Edward, Virgil and Ted Ward, and her beloved dog, Skipper, in Heaven.

Joyce loved her family, fishing, and watching the wildlife from her porch.

Surviving are her husband, David Sanford, whom she married on April 14, 1961; her sister, Betty (Herold) Hays of Bourbonnais; her daughters, Vicki Tousignant of Bradley and Lori (Mark) Seiler of Danvers; her grandchildren, Jason (Stephanie) Wenzelman of St. Anne, Matthew Wenzelman of Villa Grove, Jessica (John) Kennedy of Bourbonnais, Brad (Dana) Starr of Kankakee, Ryan (Jessica) Tousignant of Bradley, Sara Starr of Manteno and Megan Coyle of East Flat Rock, NC; and ten great-grandchildren.

Cremation rites have been accorded and a celebration of Joyce's life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Carle BroMenn Foundation.
