Mrs. Joyce Korba of Fremont Center, NY died Thursday, July 1, 2010 at Catskill Regional Medical Center, Harris, NY just two days shy of her 72nd birthday.
She was born July 3, 1938 in Whitestone, NY, the daughter of the late Nicholas and Edwina Frank and her late stepdad, Don Wehr. She was married to Steve Korba for 44 years and together they raised a family on Massapequa, Long Island. They moved up to the Catskills in 1999.

Joyce was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother and was at the heart of our family. Nicknamed Ju-Ju by her grandchildren, she was loved and treasured for her care for others and her wonderful sense of humor. She was the perfect loving and supportive wife who stood by her husband through thick and thin and never wavered in her devotion.
Joyce was active in, and past president of, the Catskill Mountain Doll Club and enjoyed collecting and making dolls under the tutelage of her friend and also past Doll Club president and founder, Lynn Nalven. Joyce also loved movies, cooking, and her three pets, Toby, Max, and Buddy. And foremost, she was an avid reader who would read one book a day.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, July 6 with a 9:15 a.m. prayer at the funeral home, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Mary’s R.C. Church on Route 95 in Obernburg, NY.
