It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joyce Anne Kirk. Joyce was born in Washington State and most recently lived in Ellicott City, Maryland. She was 87 years old. Joyce worked as an Administrative Assistant at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab prior to retirement.
Joyce was one of the very few that was loved and appreciated so deeply by everyone she came in contact with. Whether a passing hello or a lifetime of memories, she had that incredibly rare gift to brighten the lives of everyone around her. Joyce was exceptionally kind and endlessly generous…that is how we will always remember her.
Joyce is preceded in death by her loving husband Ed Kirk and stepdaughter Kandi. She is survived by her daughter Maryann Thomas and son-in-law Al Spekis, her son Frank Hainley, her daughter Tracy Miciche and son-in-law Gary Miciche, her stepdaughter Kim Hess and son-in-law Ken Hess, her stepdaughter Kristi Klockner and son-in-law Dave Klockner, and her stepdaughter Kerrie Chamberlain and son-in-law Todd Chamberlain. Joyce is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, September 22, 2023 from 12 to 4pm at Kelsey's Pub in Ellicott City, MD.
