Joyce Marie Webber


Joyce Marie Webber, a kind and compassionate mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, died on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at the Eaton Community Palliative Care surrounded by her loving family. Joyce, 81, was born on December 21, 1941, in Alton, IL, the daughter of Russell and Francis (Hampson) Admire. At an early age Joyce started her family. She was a homemaker and raised her five children on her own. Once her children were grown, she went back to school to obtain her high school diploma. After that she began working as a Housekeeper for Sparrow Hospital, HGB, and most recently at the Eaton County Medical Care Facility. Joyce was always able to keep a tidy house even with her five children. Many will cherish the yearly homemade birthday card that they received from Joyce. In her younger years she enjoyed reading and playing computer games. In recent years Joyce loved shopping at Goodwill trying to score a trendy purse to add to her collection. Joyce, through everything that she faced in life, always followed the Lord and the path that he laid for her. Above all, Joyce loved the Lord Jesus Christ and her family more than anything. She was a big lover of Elvis and took pride in her unique way of gift giving on every holiday and birthday.

Joyce is survived by her children, Tammi Kenney, Terri Lynn Zdanovich, and Ted Webb II; grandchildren, Tony Archer, Sarah (Eric Watson) Swank, Tawny (Vabian Ford) Webb, Hannah Zdanovich, and Josh Webb; great-grandchildren, Hayley, Bella, Little Eric, Jayden, Teagan, Nirvanah, and Kamden; and sister, Carole. She was predeceased by her husband, Richard Webber; daughters, Teresa Walker, and Tracy Rutherford; son-in-law, Chuck Kenney; brothers, Bill Admire, Gordon Admire, Jerry Admire, and Joe Admire.
