Joyce K. Werth, age 79 of Clintonville, passed away at her home Friday evening, July 3, 2026.
Joyce was born on December 15, 1946 in Clintonville as the daughter of the late Ervin and Lucille (Schellinger) Kuehl. She attended St. Martin Lutheran School and graduated from Clintonville High School in 1965. Joyce was united in marriage to James “Jim” Werth on August 26, 1966 at St. Martin. She began working at the Clintonville Canning Factory and spent a number of years working for the Shoe Factory in town. In their younger years, Joyce and Jim enjoyed snowmobiling and camping with their family. She was an avid Green Bay Packer fan and an even bigger bargain hunter. Joyce loved rummage sales and flea markets and looked forward to holding her own huge rummage sale each year during the city wide rummage sale weekend. She had quite a green thumb and enjoyed flowers. Joyce and Jim spent the winters at their second home in Florida for many years during retirement where they made many friends and of course attended many rummage sales. She often used her talents as a seamstress to sew repairs to clothing for friends and family. Later in life, after Jim’s passing in 2015 Joyce enjoyed going on cruises off the coast of Florida and playing bingo with friends and family.
