Joyce Ann Van Hoose

Joyce Ann Van Hoose, 79, of Crescent Hill, passed away Thursday January 30, 2020. She was born November 18, 1940 to the late Leroy and Minnie Blanche Eaton Curry. Joyce was a beautiful, loving and caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She graduated from Male High School where she was a majorette, played the flute, marched in the Rose Bowl Parade, and was in the first Pegasus Parade. She was a member for approximately 60 years at Crescent Hill Baptist Church, where she lovingly cooked for many events. She was a former PTA president, assisted with the Crescent Hill Athletic Association, and was an active non-member of the Louisville East Lions Club. Joyce was everyone’s helper, always willing and able and could never say “NO” to anyone. Joyce was the Matriarch of the family she truly loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Betty Craig, and her infant sister Peggy Curry.
