Joyce I. Scheider, age 99 of Shawano, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 7, 2024, in her home of 60 years in Shawano, surrounded by her loved ones. Joyce was born on September 17, 1924, in Gillett to the late Hugh B. and Irene (Thompson) Magee. Joyce graduated from Pulaski High School. On June 25, 1949, Joyce was united in marriage to William Robert Scheider, Jr. in Green Bay, WI. He preceded her in death on July 7, 2001. Joyce was a delight to be around. She was loved by everyone who knew her, and she loved everyone she met. She was a strong woman who beat cancer not once, but three times, always with no complaints and a smile on her face. Joyce enjoyed spending as much time with her children and grandchildren as she could. Her greatest joys were being with her family, laughing, gardening, cooking, and dancing. She loved pie, listening to polka music, reading magazines, and tending to their horses. Many days you could find her children and grandchildren sitting around her kitchen table eating her famous tuna salad. She was the sweetest mother and grandmother, and she will be missed dearly.
Joyce is survived by her four children, Jim Scheider, of Appleton, Mike Scheider, of Shawano, Bette Walby, of Shawano, and Mary (Mike) Duebler, of Shawano; four grandchildren, Lisa (Corey) Klose, Maya Duebler (Timothy Condon), Ryan (Abby) Duebler, and Brittany Cuenca; and 12 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, William; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Curtis Magee and Orriene Buckley, Elwood and Elva Magee.
A funeral service for Joyce will be held on Monday, January 15, 2024, at 12:00 pm at St. James Lutheran Church in Shawano. Pastor Andrew Zobel will officiate. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in Shawano. Visitation will begin at the church at 10:00 am and continue until the time of service.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials in Joyce’s name to the St. James Lutheran Church Radio Broadcast.
