Joyce K. Beasley

May 21, 1943 - October 6, 2021

Joyce K. Beasley (Smith), 78, of Toledo, Ohio passed from this earth surrounded by her loving family at home on October 6, 2021. Joyce was born in Minnesota on May 21st, 1943 to Edward and Myrtle Smith (Witt) where she grew up in Ridgeway and later LaCrescent, MN. Shortly after graduating from the Aquinas High School, Joyce moved to Ohio where she settled and raised her family. On a beautiful day in May 1990, Joyce married the love of her life, Dave Beasley. Together they shared many adventures by way of camping, boating, participating in Fiero Club events, walking in their favorite Metroparks, and off-roading in their Jeep. She spent countless hours working on the family's genealogy. (Her notebooks eventually filled a small bookshelf!) Joyce's other hobbies included going to bingo, doing crossword puzzles, enjoying Nascar, and maintaining her beautiful flower gardens. She deeply enjoyed the memories made with her friends and family; her annual Christmas Eve parties were always something she looked forward to hosting. Joyce also treasured her work family at Tom Strains and Sons and Daughter Too greenhouse, where she was employed for the last 25+ years, until her retirement. Left to cherish Joyce's memory are her loving husband, Dave Beasley; daughters, Barbara (Bob) Fischer, Joan (William) Carpenter, April (Ray) Woods; sons, Robert (Joyce Lake) Monroe, Michael Monroe and David (Stacy) Monroe, step-son, David C. Beasley; 10 grandchildren and many great- grandchildren; two loving sisters, Elaine (Donald) Woodard of Houston, MN and LaVonne Tibesar of Minnesota City, MN and one brother, Bruce Smith of LaCrescent, MN. She was preceded in death by her parents Edward and Myrtle Smith (Witt) and grandson, Shawn Michael Monroe. Friends may visit at the Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 S.
