Joyce Elaine Lee

We honor the life of Joyce Elaine Lee, born on July 31, 1936, in Connecticut and called to eternal rest on June 12, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. She retired from the state of Hawaii and spent her later years in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joyce received several higher educational degrees; associates in accounting (1986), associates in liberal arts (1989) from Leeward Community College and a bachelors in social sciences (1993) with distinction from the University of Hawaii-West Oahu. 

She enjoyed long walks, the beach, reading, writing, laughing and travelling to corners of the world. She was incredibly independent, vibrant, and a lifelong learner. 

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Loretta and Charles Miller and her grandson, Robert Brown Jr. She is survived by a loving family of one sister Loretta Faye Brown, two brothers, David and Dale Miller, one daughter Wanda Brown and husband Robert, four sons Billy Lee, Jr., Stephen Lee and wife Shannon, Eric Lee, Peter Lee and wife Boots, a host of grandchildren, Aprille Williams, Alexandra Souder and husband Christian, Chavanna, Taylor, Geoffrey, Brady, and a host of great grandchildren Payton, Christian Jr, Jackson, Mason, Harrison and Kane who love her dearly. 

She truly will be missed and never forgotten. 

In light of the sudden news, the family asks for privacy as they grieve, and they appreciate everyone’s condolences and prayers.
