Joyce Marion Blanck
Joyce's greatest joy and achievement was her family. She taught her sons good manners and to have high standards of honesty and integrity. She was passionate about supporting her family's sports, work, hobbies and outdoor activities. Modest, humble and hardworking, Joyce was a faithful and loyal friend who always brought joy and warmth to those around her.
Shopping with her daughters-in-law and grandchildren was one of Joyce's favorite things to do. She loved Reuben sandwiches, licorice and Dairy Queen. She was a good bridge player and enjoyed dominos, cards and board games. She was a great cook and baked the best Italian Cream Cake there is.
Joyce is survived by four sons and their wives; Tom and Kristen Blanck of Independence, MN, John and Colleen Blanck of Minnetrista, MN, Jim and Brooke Blanck of Lake of the Ozarks, MO, and Tony and Kristina Blanck of Manhattan, KS, nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren, who will forever cherish her love and unwavering support. Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Bill Blanck, siblings Phil Stuve and Pat (Stuve) Ramon.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the staff and residents of Haven Homes in Maple Plain, MN. Joyce made many friends and loved her time there.
Memorial donations may be made to your favorite charity or cause in her honor. Joyce would be quick to support you.
Joyce's legacy of kindness and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
