Joyce Louise Wyatt

Joyce Louise Wyatt, 79, passed away peacefully on December 25, 2024, in Wildomar, California. Born on February 23, 1945, in Roanoke, Virginia, Joyce lived a life filled with love, resilience, and dedication to her family and friends.

Raised in Roanoke, Joyce graduated high school and relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she met Felix (Tommy) Musgrove. They were united in marriage and had three beloved children: Felix, Jason, and Jolie . After separating in 1979, Joyce moved to Ashland, Kansas, where she began a new chapter of her life. 

In 1980, she married Jim Wyatt, and together they raised her children, creating cherished memories until their separation in 1989. During her time in Ashland, Joyce worked as a dedicated administrative assistant to Bob Baker, Attorney at Law, and as a waitress at The Hardesty House. 

In 1989, Joyce moved to San Diego, California, where she embraced new opportunities and worked as an administrative assistant at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado and later at Cardinal Health. Her exceptional work ethic and warm personality left a lasting impression on colleagues and friends. She retired in 2005, enjoying a well-deserved rest after years of hard work.

Joyce had a passion for life and treasured the time she spent with her family. She adored fishing, playing cards, entertaining friends, and indulging in a good steak or fresh seafood meal. Her laughter and love for simple joys were infectious. 

She is survived by her children, Felix Wyatt (Jacqueline) Jason Wyatt (Franie), and Jolie Girard (Scott); grandchildren, Haley Jaglowski (Ty), Chelsey LeClear (Monte Winkler), Chrissy Fly (Harrison), Holden Girard (Madeline), and Stone Wyatt; and her great-grandchildren, Rylee and Addison Jaglowski and Jessie Fly. Joyce’s legacy of love, strength, and humor will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

 In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Joyce’s honor to a charity of your choice.

Joyce will be deeply missed but forever remembered with love and gratitude.

An uplifting celebration of Joyce's life will be held 11:00AM  Saturday April 12, 2025  at the Highland Cemetery Chapel, Ashland, Kansas, with brother Jerry Hodges officiating.
