Joyce E. Clark, 91, formerly of Forestville, was called home to her Lord and Savior, Thursday, July 10, 2025, at Aurora BayCare Medical Center. She was born May 17, 1934, in Algoma, to Fred and Anna (Gleichner) Wierschke.

Joyce graduated from Algoma High School in 1952. She worked as a nursing assistant for the Algoma Hospital for a few years. Most of her life was a stay-at-home mom, raising her eight children and also helping on the farm.

Joyce enjoyed spending time with her family, bowling, her flower gardens, which she spent many hours making sure they were perfect, bus trips and her dog, Micki.

Joyce is survived by seven of her nine children, David (Linda) Clark, Daniel Clark, Dane (Donna) Clark, Lloyd Clark, Gary (Lynn) Clark, Lori (Ron) Vandertie and Kristi (Jay) Charles; 28 grandchildren, 52 great grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren; son-in-law George Oram, many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, an infant daughter Debra, daughter Cindy, and three grandsons
