Obituary for Joyce Ann Gerossie
Joyce Ann (Cloran) Gerossie, 66, died June 18, 2010, at her sister's home surrounded by her loving family after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

A testament to her boundless generosity and loving nature, Joyce provided in-home childcare for dozens of children from 1981-2002. She loved camping with her husband, children, grandchildren, and campground friends, and always had a kind word to share with everyone. Her husband Jack preceded her in death on March 5, 2009.
