Individual Details

Joyce: On the evening of November 10, 2015, Joyce Elaine Adams, 72, went to be with Our Heavenly Father while surrounded by family at her home in Cadillac, Michigan. Joyce was the daughter of Edward and Monabell (Bohnett) VanOstran. She was the youngest of four children.
Surviving to cherish her memory are her companion, Leslie Martin; two sisters, Phyllis (Dale) Brown and Jean (Mike) Grahek; one sister-in-law, Francis VanOstran; two daughters, Cynthia Adams and Melinda (Tim) Townsend; two sons, Rick (Julie) Adams and Eric (Leah Martin) Adams; as well as nine grandchildren and ten great-grand children. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
In addition to her parents and brother, Larry VanOstran, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 35 years, Douglas Adams and two grandsons, Rodney and Ryan Hart.
Joyce retired from the Haslett High School after 23 years of service. She touched many people's lives with her goofy sense of humor and her heart of gold. She was known for her big diesel trucks and always going above and beyond to lend a helping hand. She would never leave her house without her hair being done, make-up on and her eyebrows penciled in.
Funeral services celebrating Joyce's life were held at the Gorsline Runciman Funeral Home,
East Lansing, on Monday, November 16, 2015. Interment followed at Rose Cemetery in Bath, Michigan.
