Look closely at her chair, the one where she used to sit. The beauty of love may not always be seen, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

Joyce Marie Doolittle, 81, passed away peacefully with her children at her side on October 14th 2023. She was predeceased by her husband John Doolittle, parents Harold and Dorothy Lloyd, and multiple siblings.

Joyce was a generous, supportive, and compassionate woman putting the needs of others before her own. Ready to lend a helping hand or a kind word, her loving nature and warm personality left a mark on the hearts of many. Her door was always open, with cheese and crackers and a chair at her table, and a quick visit or phone call would make her day.

Her life revolved around the family and she will be missed beyond measure by her three daughters Dawn Barshow (Bob Nogaret), Tammy (Tim) Chandler, and Jennifer (Jeremiah) Stowell, nephew Chuck (Sue) Donahue, grandchildren and great grandchildren, special friends including Betty and Grace, and many extended family members.

A private graveside ceremony will be held at Vestal Memorial Park where, after 19 years apart, she and John will finally rest in peace together.
