REV. JOYCE LEE JENNINGS, child of God, passed peacefully into her life with Jesus on July 25, at the Olathe Hospice House in Olathe, Kansas.  Joyce was born on August 7, 1931 in Peoria, Illinois.

In her later years Rev. Joyce began a new life; she entered seminary, graduating in 1996 and served the Glenn and Sprakers Reformed Churches near Albany, New York.  She moved, with her husband, to Overland Park, Kansas in 2008, continuing to carry on her ministry in a variety of settings.  For the past several years she conducted worship services for the residents of Bloom where she lived.  Her joy was to share the love and Word of God with those around her.

Left to mourn her passing are her family, the residents of Bloom in Olathe, members of Crossroads Church, and many friends in the community and beyond.

A memorial service will be held at Crossroads Church, RCA, 10551 Quivira Road, Overland Park, KS, 66215,, on Sunday, August 4, at 2pm.  There will be an opportunity for refreshments and conversation following the service.
