Joyce Ann (Cox) Findley, 73, of Fort Scott, Kansas, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children. Born on August 3, 1952, in Deerfield, Missouri, she was the daughter of Elmer and Arta Mae Cox and grew up alongside her six siblings: Lonni, Jerry, Marilyn, Karen, Forrest, and Patsy.
Joyce was known for her kind heart, caring nature, and beautiful smile. She married Floyd Findley in August of 1980 in Miami, Oklahoma, and together they built a loving family. Joyce devoted her life to being a homemaker and caring for those she loved most. She was a proud mother to Jason, Melanie, and Kenneth, and grandmother to Bailey, Tyler, Megan, and Phoenix. One of her greatest joys in recent years was having all of her children back home living in Fort Scott.
Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd Findley, in 2015. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her ever-present smile, and the chocolate chip cookies that brought everyone to her kitchen table. Her kindness, will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
