Maria Joyce

April 22, 1948 — June 8, 2024

Maria Joyce passed away peacefully in Marietta, Georgia on June 8, 2024 at the age of 76. Maria leaves behind her three daughters Karen (Peter) Joyce Simmons, Sharon (Michael) Joyce Williams, and Erin (Matthew) Marie Rakes and her three granddaughters: Claire Victoria Williams, Paige Maria Williams, and Katherine Joyce Simmons. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Paul Joyce.


Maria was born April 22, 1948, in Niznymirosov, Czechoslovakia, to Juraj and Maria Bilanin. She immigrated to the United States as a teenager and met her husband a few years later. Over their forty-two years of happy marriage, they raised three children while residing in Ohio, New Jersey, and Georgia. Maria was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a dedicated friend. She loved to read, travel, exercise, and shop with her daughters and granddaughters. Maria was known for her strong hugs, big smiles and contagious laughs.


A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of Maria.
