Joyce Edna Moore, 72, of Three Rivers, passed away Wednesday, July 3, 2024 at her home.
She was born August 6, 1951, in Three Rivers, the daughter of Armond and Dolores (Arndt) Moore, and graduated from Three Rivers High School with the Class of 1969.

She spent nearly four decades as a teacher at Nottawa Community Schools, molding young minds for 37 years until her retirement in 2010. She was a caring individual who enjoyed her students.
In her retirement, Joyce enjoyed meeting with friends and volunteering at the Three Rivers Community Kitchen – especially cooking her specialty, baked beans.

Sorry to hear about Joyce’s passing……we attended Lake Section elementary school back in the early 1960’s….and then on to high school. She was always cheerful, and nice to talk to
Ms Moore was my 5th grade teacher at nottawa, many years ago. Thoughts and prayers to the family🙏🙏
Joyce’s tender heartedness was expressed in her role as a teacher, as a champion of the Three Rivers Community Kitchen, and of the Domestic Assault Shelter, and also as a member of Trinity Church, and as a loyal friend. Joyce’s thoughtfulness touched many lives, and will be greatly missed.
I worked for Joyce doing her lawn mowing, snow plowing, and leaf removal for the past 5-6 years or so. She was always so kind when I would see her and always expressed her gratitude for having us. I always, always, always felt so appreciated after talking with her. She will be missed.
Joyce (Miss Moore at the time) was a teacher of mine at Nottawa Elementary School many years ago. I last talked to her 2 weeks ago. She always asked to see me when she came into Yoder’s Country where I am a manager. After all I put her through she still liked me. God bless her.
I remember Joyce from High School days. A very kind, caring, and good person. My condolences to her family, I’m certain she will reap the rewards of a life well lived!
I don’t know many of her remaining family members, but I knew Joyce and her folks.
Joyce and her parents were always very nice to me (and probably everyone) and will be missed on this earth by those they left behind.
A special friend has been rewarded with the gift of eternal life. So sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. I treasure my memories of our fun times together and will keep them alive

Bill and Donna,
I’m so sorry to read about Joyce’s passing. Age 72 is way too young to be leaving this world. I’m sure that she is in a better place with the Lord watching over her. 😢
