Joyce Darlene Gacke, the daughter of Edward and Marguerite (Henning) Gacke, was born October 4, 1928 in Royal, Iowa. Her childhood years were spent in Royal, Iowa where she received her education, later attending Everly High School and graduating from Milford High School.
Joyce lived in Fostoria, Iowa for many years, where she worked as a Home Health nurse, taking care of elderly patients in her home. Following her retirement, she moved to Spencer to the Sunset Apartments. Her life in Sunset brought her many new friends and that became one of the happiest periods of her life. When her needs demanded additional care she moved to Northshire Nursing Home where she again found abundant love and care. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Spencer. In her spare time, she enjoyed sewing and crocheting.
She passed away at the Spencer Hospital on Monday, July 10, 2017 at the age of 88. Joyce was preceded in death by her parents; and one brother, William.
