Joyce M. Prentice, age 89, of Erie, died on Saturday July 25, 2015 at Independence Court. Joyce was born in Johnson City, NY on December 25, 1925, daughter of the late Lewis & Pearl Dennis Klingman.

Joyce was employed as a school secretary before marrying Judson Burr Prentice on June 26, 1949. She also worked at Halle Brothers department store in the Millcreek Mall in the early 1980’s and was a volunteer teacher’s aide at Chestnut Hill School for many years. Her church was her life and she was a 50 year member of First United Methodist Church, 707 Sassafras Street in Erie, serving many years as president of the United Methodist Women’s group.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Judson in 2000, brothers Jack and Russell, cousin Jean Larsen and friend, Rose Faber.

Joyce is survived by her sister-in-law Betty Klingman of Avon, NY; two children, Nancy Kirner (Bill) of North East, PA, and Stephen Prentice (Carol), of San Marcos, TX; grandchildren, Brent Kirner (Christy) and Judd Kirner (Jill), of Erie, PA; Christina Starey (Earl) of Austin, TX; great-grandchildren Chase Judson and Adelle Brooklyn; and long time family friend Bobbi Pollock. Joyce is also survived by cherished church friends Audrey Carrick and Libby Beidler and by several nieces & nephews-- especially her niece, Dr. Karen Klingman of Silver Spring, MD and â€"flower niece” June Stanley of San Luis Obispo, CA. The family wishes to thank Independence Court and AseraCare Hospice for their loving care of Joyce.

Friends may call upon the family at Burton Wintergreen Funeral Home 2532 Norcross Road on Sunday August 2, 2015 from 3 to 5pm. Private burial will be in Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery.
