Joyce Rosemary Warmbrodt

She was born on March 31, 1935 in Longviell, Minnesota to her parents John Lawrence Yochum and Leola Blanch Metzer Yochum.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years Richard Lewis Warmbrodt who passed in 1996.

She is survived by her sister Veryle June, and her 4 brothers William Delno, Edward, Benidict Richard, John Roger. She leaves behind her two boys Todd and Bill Warmbro dt and many loving nephews and nieces.

Joyce grew up in a loving home surrounded by brothers and sisters. First living on a farm where the family grew everything they needed. When she was a young girl, the family moved to Pengilly, Minnesota where they managed the Edgewater Beach Resort on Swan Lake. Then sometime around 1940 the family moved from the resort and purchased the PlaMor Tavern in downtown Pengilly.

Joyce graduated from Coleraine High School in 1953. In that same year she moved to California where she met her husband Richard. She was married May 21, 1955 in Santa Monica, California. The newlyweds soon moved to Sublett County Wyoming where Joyce found work with the District Attorney’s office. While living in Pinedale she gave birth to two boys Todd Allen and Billy Dean.

Joyce and family moved to Southern California in 1962. The following year she started working for Hughes Aircraft Company where she enjoyed being an Executive Secretary for 17 years.

Joyce & Richard moved to Red Bluff in 1980 and she was soon working for the Welfare Dept. Joyce then moved to the Sheriff’s office in 1981. She worked at several positions but loved the Detectives the most. After 22 years, she retired in 2003 and started the next chapter in her life.

In retirement, she traveled the East Coast with her sister Veryle and saw Washington DC and the North Coast with all of the wonders of Fall. She went on Cruises with family and friends. She lived the way it should be for a retired person.

One of the things she looked forward to the most was having lunch with the ladies of retired PG&E workers. Most of her brothers were retired from PG&E and she felt a kinship. There she made new friends, and it was as if she had new sisters.

The Widowed Persons Association was a big part of her life. They helped her after the loss of her husband to get back into the game and have fun again. Her family would like to request that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Widowed Persons Association of California, P.O. Box 1312, Red Bluff, CA 96080.
