Joyce passed into God's Kingdom on July 28, 2022 at the age of 94. She was born September 21, 1927 in Bluefield, W.V. to Douglas Anna (Sublette) and William Houchins. At the age of 2, she moved with her sister and mom to Toledo, where her mother married Frank Streight and Joyce met the love of her life, Frank Beavers, Jr. They married on September 9, 1945. They shared 69 happy years together.
Joyce raised her family before pursuing her artistic passion. She created many fine oil, pastel, and acrylic paintings; which family and friends enjoy. She was a faithful and devout Christian, who exemplified her faith in everything she did.
She is proudly survived by her 3 children, Pat (Tom) Goodman (Cowboy and Ethel), Frank (Pam) Beavers, III and Bill (Kathy) Beavers; 9 grandchildren, Tammy (Jason) Pietrowski, Amanda (Thor) Jones, Jason (Allison) Hurt, Frank (Jessica) Beavers, IV, Sean (Jodi) Beavers, Kimberly (Tommy) Vaculik, Sarah Beavers, Evan (Shawna) Beavers and Joseph (Tara) Beavers; and also 23 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank Mary whose constant friendship and care made our mother's time in Assisted Living so much better. Donations in Joyce's memory may be made to The Toledo Museum of Art.
