Joyce Ann Stuesse October 30, 1947 - May 26, 2024 Joyce Stuesse has returned to heaven from whence she came. Thank you God, for allowing me to have this beautiful woman as my wife, my companion, and my friend for so many years. Read Obituary
I was fortunate enough to meet and know this vivacious and witty lady while working for Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. We both worked in Continuing Care as placement coordinators. She always wore a smile and positive attitude that was contagious. God thank you for sharing Joyce with us all. Until we meet again my friend. Mu thoughts and prayers go out for your family, loved ones and friends 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was so sorry to hear the news of Joyce’s passing. I met Joyce in the early to mid-70’s, through my brother, in Kansas City. She was full of life! Kind, compassionate, and loved to have a good time! A life well-lived. Rest in Peace, Joyce. 💚🙏
Such a lovely person! That smile of hers. We didn’t get to spend nearly enough time with her but am so grateful for what we did get. Especially seeing her in Hawaii, watching the sunset, eating cinnamon rolls and drinking coffee and margaritas. She will be so missed. See you on the other side Joyce!!
Joyce was a bright, shining light. We were lucky to visit her in Maui a few times. She and Bob generously let us use their condo in Kihei when we were first married. We also traveled there with my mom a few times (see picture). Joyce made a darling mermaid outfit for my daughter. She also sent her a mermaid costume and book which got a lot of use over the years. She cared so much for others and I loved her love of her dogs. We will miss her. Thinking of you, Bob, and her family who loved her. The service was very moving. I am so happy I got to see it from California. Love, Heather, Ozzy & Helena Busquets
Very uplifting ceremony, what Joyce would have wanted (only missing
were the dogs)
We're holding a Paddle Out for Joyce here (Central California), and for
those who don't surf, a Hands & Paws on the beach so you can still toss
your leis for her.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the sweet uplifting rush, of
quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry...
I am not there, I did not die

Affectionately Joyce was my aunt, factually my mom’s best friend of 40+years. She embodied joy, love, and strength so just as she landed by the ocean, so did we…my mom to Charleston in 2022 and me to Seattle in 2023. You’re forever our dearest and most cherished memory, we are glad you were born, sweet soul <3
Bob - I am so sorry for your loss. When I was growing up, I spent summers at Joyce's house. We loved playing dress up. She was such a wonderful lady. Love, Ellie Fox
Joyce and I met through our husbands Bob and Mike who worked together at Convair in the 1980s. We did the couples' thing-dinner at Kaiserhof, happy hour at Kaiserhof, Octoberfest at the German American Society in El Cajon, visits at our homes, staying in the Maui Vista condo during our visits to Kihei where Joyce and I would go swimming and thrift store shopping. She was a people person with a smile that went on and on. We never had those silences during our conversations as she always had a story to tell. I would sometimes ask her about her nursing career as our daughter is also an RN and it can be helpful to share another nurse's experiences with different hospitals or departments. Joyce had an energy that was positive, loving, accepting, and open to what the day would bring. May we all share those attributes with others as we remember Joyce in the years to come.
