Joyce L. Green, 79, of Shelbyville, passed away on February 10, 2025, in Shelbyville.
She was born on June 26, 1946, in Shelby County to Mary E. and Jack Graham. Joyce was a devoted wife, mother, sister, friend, and an exceptional mamaw. Known for her hard-working nature, selfless spirit, and a touch of sass, she always put others first, never prioritizing herself.
On June 22, 1963, she married David E. Green of Shelbyville, who survives.
She was employed at Williams Industries for 41 years. Joyce is also survived by her children, Bret (Alexis) Green of Shelbyville and Brad Green of Shelbyville; her brother, Donnie Graham of Shelbyville; her brother-in-law, Floyd Schaekel of Hagerstown; her grandchildren, Nicholas Green of Shelbyville, Blayr (Stuart) Jones of Shelbyville, Jordan (Amy) Green of Salt Lake City, Utah, Drew Jones of Greenwood, Michael (Amy) Sobieski of Canton, Ohio, and Sydni Carroll of Canton, Ohio; and several great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Kris Carroll; her sister, Carole Schaekel; and her sister-in-law, Donna Graham.
Graveside service will be 1:00 pm, on Friday, February 14, 2025, at Forest Hill Cemetery with Pastor Daniel McDonald officiating.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to St. Croix Hospice and The Willows Memory Care of Shelbyville for their compassionate care.
The men of the family would also like to express their deepest gratitude to Alexis for her unwavering care, devotion, and love shown to Joyce.
