Jones, Joyce, Domestic Goddess of Defiance, MO formerly of St. Louis, passed on Friday, November 29, 2013, at the age of 78. In her last 13 years, she enjoyed living in a cabin in the woods in Defiance, MO, with her loving husband, Don Jones. On their last anniversary August 29, 2013, they'd been married for 60 years. Joyce was the joy of Don's life. Joyce was the beloved daughter of the late Oscar and Mildred Kitzinger; devoted mother of Kim (Clive) Woodward, and Dr. Scott (Ray Lauer) C. Jones; dear sister of Carol (the late Lee) Allen, Donna (Joe) Gorman. Joyce is survived by her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Even through her physical pain Joyce was able to keep her sense of humor.
