Joyce Cook (Schoonover)
Class of 1971
My Cousin Joyce
Joyce Cook Schoonover 62 7/24/53 – 1/26/16
Joyce was a 1971 graduate of Weston High School, who went on to receive her Nursing degree from the University of CT in 1975.
Joyce died from complications of Dementia, with her youngest son, Ben at her side in the Intensive Care Unit of a local California hospital. She is survived by her Husband Michael, who unselfishly cared for Joyce during her time battling Alzheimers. She is also survived by her three children, Andrew, Melissa, and Benjamin, her sister Joan Cook Anderson (Gary), and cousins, Brian Stoddard, Susan Celuch (Mike), Tom Stoddard (Cindy), Donna Sinkawitz (Chuck), Gary Disbrow and more cousins and relatives on her father’s side of the family.
I remember Joyce as a beaming ray of light, a pretty, petite, intelligent and caring woman, She was not only my cousin but also was a good friend.
After raising three children, with her first husband Jonathan Kaufman, Joyce remarried and went on to continue her education in fine art. She produced many wonderful watercolor paintings, along with a prize winning poster which she entered in a contest for a Winery near Dorrington, California. She won the contest!
Thank you Joyce for enriching so many of our lives!
