Joyce A. Bottos-Bella, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sept. 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born on July 27, 1951, in Peekskill, New York, she lived a life marked by kindness, strength, and a steady devotion to the people she loved. She was thoughtful in the way she listened, funny in the way she brought light into a room, and selfless in the way she placed the needs of others before her own. Her presence was comforting, her laughter was memorable, and her love was steady.
Joyce will be remembered above all for the love she had for her family and the special place each of them held in her heart. She treasured the time she spent with those closest to her and created memories that will remain with her family for generations to come. Her presence, her personality, and the countless moments shared with her will be deeply missed.
Joyce is survived by her loving children, Michael (Czarina), Christopher (Stacey), Timothy (Cornelia), and Joanne, and her cherished grandchildren, Adam, Andraia, and Christopher.
She is also survived by her siblings, Dennis (Linda), Glenn (Denise), Randy, and Jolinne. She was predeceased by her beloved siblings, Susan and Frank (Maureen), and their memory will continue through the families and children they left behind.
Joyce's family takes comfort in knowing that the love she gave so freely will continue through her children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and the many friends whose lives she touched.
She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever remain a part of the family she loved so dearly.
