Joyce Decker Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 25, 2015.

Joyce M. Decker went home to be with the Lord on March 21, 2015 where there is no more pain or suffering. Joyce was preceded in death by her loving husband, Allen E. Decker, and her son Brian A. Decker who was the joy of her life. All who crossed paths with Joyce were treated as family. Her joy was contagious, always seeing the humor in each situation she faced. "Miss" Joyce will be truly missed by those who knew her.
Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Graveside Service at Greenwood Cemetery, 120 City Park Ave. in New Orleans on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 10:00 am. Within Greenwood Cemetery the tomb's location can be found at the intersection of Palm and Osier. Condolences may be offered at www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.

A wonderful, kind lady who will be missed. She was one of my Sunday School teachers at St. John's way back when. Happy to be home with Allen and Brian again.
