She was born, April 16, 1937 in Newcastle, WY to parents Boyd Preston Ash and Frances Sophia Ash. She graduated from Moorcroft High School in 1955 as valedictorian of her class. She met the love of her life Lawrence (Larry) Eklund while working at the local grocery store. They were married in Sheridan, WY on April 27, 1958.

Joyce was known for putting other people's needs before her own. She was warm hearted and empathetic toward her family and friends. There was no denying the compassion she had for others and the endless support and encouragement she gave to their hopes and dreams.
You could always find her outside working in her yard and flower beds. She enjoyed passing the time with her family and friends. She spent countless hours caring for her own family as well as her parents. Joyce was a giving and doting person and was unreservedly devoted to her husband and family.
She was loved by all who knew her and will be sadly missed.
Private family services will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to Central Wyoming Hospice & Transitions, 319 S. Wilson St., Casper, WY 82601.
