Joyce A. Carter

Joyce Ann Carter, 73, a long-time resident of Cleveland, Ohio passed away peacefully on March 4th, 2024, with family by her side.

Joyce was born to Eugene and Mary Wickline in Greenbrier County, West Virginia on August 7th, 1950.

In her early years, she started a family and raised her two sons in New Jersey. She often reminisced about having a house full of their friends. You could tell in her voice she loved being a mother.

Joyce was a natural caregiver through and through and enjoyed careers that involved helping others. She has touched many lives with her unwavering love and patience. Her selflessness and impact will forever be felt by her loved ones. She found so much joy in being with her family, reading (she would joke about always needing large print), playing board games, especially Scrabble, and being outside in the garden.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Mary Wickline, her husband, Salvatore Vanadia, her siblings, Steve and Bill, and her loving son, Richard Carter.

She is survived by her son, David Carter (Christina), and daughter-in-law Colleen. Her grandkids, Cassie Aalderink, Jamie (Jacob) Klotz, David Carter Jr. (Hannah), Kelley, and Maggie.

Her great-grandkids Kylee and Connor.

Her siblings Lillian, Claude, Teresa, and Jeanie along with numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

She wished that her ashes be spread in West Virginia in a creek behind a local church where many great memories were made in the summers with family.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
