Groom

Joyce B. Groom, 87, of Mars, passed away peacefully to join the Lord on Friday evening, Nov. 8, 2024, with loved ones by her side.

Joyce had a zest for life and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her daughter and grandchildren, seeing her family’s pets, keeping up with the Steelers, playing the number and enjoying her sweets! She loved deeply and always made sure her family knew how immensely proud of them she was. We are the ones who hold the most pride to be able to call her Mother and Mema.

Joyce was the embodiment of a powerful, generous and faithful woman who set an example of unmatched strength and love for those who loved and looked up to her. She will be deeply missed by her only Baby, Boo-Boo, China Doll, Star and Angel.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Faith (Joseph) Morando; and her four grandchildren, Paul (Tracy), Alexandra (Connor), Victoria (Antonio) and Philip Morando, who were her greatest blessings.

Joyce was preceded in death by the love of her life, husband Paul T. Groom; her parents; and siblings Shirley, Georgeanna, Mina and Charles.

GROOM — There will be a private service for the family of Joyce B. Groom, who died Friday, Nov. 8, 2024.
