Cecilia Margaret Joyce was born October 17, 2002 in south central Minnesota, into a family that loved her. She found joy in life surrounded by a large family, \u00a09 siblings, \u00a07 nephews & nieces, cousins, aunts & uncles, and friends.<\/div>\n

Cecilia played her accordion, participated in high school dance line, and traveled with her family on adventures. In 2021 she graduated from St. Mary\u2019s High School in Sleepy Eye, MN.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She chose to pursue a major in English (with a minor in religious studies) at the University of St. Mary in Bismark, ND. There she enjoyed her independence, time with friends, teaching CCD, and dancing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cecilia was full of random thoughts and stories sprinkled with humor. As she grew older, some were collected in her writing notebooks and some were joy-filled conversations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On November 22, 2023 Cecilia took the hand of the guardian angel with her and went toward heaven. There she was greeted as a granddaughter, niece, sister, auntie, cousin, and friend.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The absence of her lively, sweet presence will be felt.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Visitation at Saints Peter and Paul Church, 710 N. Baird Street, Green Bay, WI on Friday, December 1, 2023, from 9:30am until the time of the funeral. Funeral Mass 11am at the church with Rev. Jose Lopez officiating.<\/div>\n
