Joyce Ann Devinaspre

Joyce was born in Gardiner, ME and was one of nine children. Her family followed her father’s construction schedule across the country. It took them through Colorado, Bishop, CA, Hells Canyon and eventually settled in Boise. As a child, some of her fondest memories was her time spent in Hells Canyon.

She met and married Ed DeVinaspre on July 2, 1965. They eventually had three daughters, Cindy, Mechelle, and Wendy. Joyce was an avid reader. Together they would take their girls swimming, skiing, and camping. Joyce laughed all the time and loved to play practical jokes. Yet she was strict, firm and kind. These things helped her children grow up to be strong, caring people. Her family will carry her memory in the values she taught and the countless moments of love and laughter she had with them.

Joyce took great pride in her home and worked hard to keep it clean, orderly, and welcoming. She was incredibly hospitable. She welcomed and had friends over frequently.

In 1973, Joyce and her husband Ed got baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses. Joyce’s faith was the foundation of her life. Her steadfast spirituality gave her strength and purpose, and it remains an important part of her legacy. Together they built a life filled with devotion and family.

In September 2016, Joyce was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Even though Joyce lost other memories, her devotion to Jehovah God never wavered.

Joyce leaves behind her husband Ed of 61 years, three daughters, Cindy Kidneigh, Mechelle DeVinaspre, and Wendy DeVinaspre, three grandchildren, Matthew, Macie, and Olivia and five great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2016, at 2:00 P.M. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 3299 S Roosevelt St, Boise, ID.
