Joyce Schaefer Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joyce Helen Schaefer, a beloved daughter, aunt, and friend, who departed this life peacefully on June 17, 2025, in her home in Boerne, Texas. Born on January 29, 1947, in the tranquil surroundings of Kerrville, Texas, Joyce was a cherished member of her community, known for her kindness, intelligence, and unwavering spirit.
Throughout her life, Joyce dedicated herself to her work as a drafter in the communications industry, where her innate talent and keen eye for detail left a lasting impact. Her colleagues and friends admired her professionalism and her ability to approach challenges with grace and creativity. Whether at work or at home, Joyce embodied a spirit of dedication that inspired those around her.
Joyce was more than her career; she was a nurturing soul whose love extended to her family and friends. After retiring, she was an avid quilter and enjoyed gardening. She is survived by her beloved nephews, Cleet and Kevin Babbitt, who will forever hold her memory dear. Her warmth, laughter, and compassion touched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
As we remember the beautiful moments we shared with Joyce, we express our profound gratitude for her life, the lessons she imparted, and the love she gave so freely. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she cherished.
A ceremony to celebrate her life and the memories we hold will follow. Friends and family are invited to join us in this time of reflection and remembrance, as we pay tribute to a remarkable woman who enriched our lives in so many ways. Further details regarding services will be shared in the coming days.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to a charity of your choice, as a testament to Joyce's faith in Christ, generous spirit and her devotion to helping others. Her life was a beautiful tapestry of love, laughter, and dedication, and she will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate to know her.
