Joyce Leeta (Roberts) Scheirer, 94, of N. Catasauqua, passed away in her home on Wed. Oct.23, 2024, after an illness. She was the wife of the late James S. Scheirer for 65 years. Joyce was born Dec. 23, 1929, in Allentown, PA, to Christine Santee Roberts and John Roberts.
Joyce graduated from Allentown High School in 1947. She was a long-time member of the former Grace Methodist Church of Catasauqua where she taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, and served on committees. Joyce was more recently a member of the Presbyterian Church of Catasauqua. Joyce worked in the Catasauqua High School cafeteria until retiring in 1969. She volunteered at the Community Thrift Shop for many years. Joyce had been a member of the Women’s Club of Catasauqua for 36 years, serving a few years as president.
Joyce enjoyed reading, doing jig saw puzzles, knitting, tending her flower beds, and feeding the birds. She and Jim liked to take senior bus trips together. Joyce was part of a neighborhood ladies card club for over 60 years, and she always looked forward to times when her friends came by to visit her on the patio.
Joyce is survived by her children Nancy Scheirer (Peg), Cindy Reed, Jim Scheirer (Tina) and Lisa Fisher (Kelly), and four grandchildren, Randi Feinberg (Daniel), Rebecca Reed (John), Cory Scheirer, and Michael Kuhnash (Lauren).
The Scheirer family would like to express their gratitude to the Lehigh Valley Hospice Care team for their compassion and support during Joyce’s final days, and their thanks to Joyce’s in-home care aides Jackie, Tonya, Carol and Bah.
