Neil Kennedy
I remember Neil as the fun-loving person, full of wit, always ready to pull a prank on someone. I met him at Sunset Beach and one year later we married. He never forgot an occasion to give me lots of jewelry, clothes or something for the home. He was such a great man and I’ll miss him until I see him again. I love you, Neil
Joyce Faith Kneip
December 17, 1956 – October 8, 2007
Joyce was a loving daughter and a proud mother to her own daughter, Wendy Lane. Joyce was able to walk down the aisle last year on Wendy’s wedding day. Her smile lit up any room. She never knew a stranger; everywhere she went, she would make new friends. She had a love for life, her family, friends, church family, and for her pet bunny, Buckley.
Joyce possessed a strong work ethic. She worked hard to receive her dental hygiene degree and was even a recipient of the Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler award for her outstanding abilities in clinical work.
Joyce had a strong faith, even through the final stages of her illness. She was a member of Shiloh United Methodist Church in Granite Quarry, where she was active in the church, the choir, and the women’s group, and also directed and assisted with Vacation Bible School. She was an inspiration to many because regardless of how sick she felt, she would be in the choir every Sunday singing beautifully.
Joyce fought breast cancer for over ten years. She was a living embodiment of the word "fighter." She volunteered for Reach to Recovery and was a member of the Celebration of Life support group for women with breast cancer. She never gave up, and we are thankful that her faith comforted her during her final months. She would have been pleased to know that she was able to help others even through her death.
She is missed by everyone who knew her. Much love from your daughter, family and friends!
