Joyce Owen Stevenson
Requiescat in pace
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Joy, the devoted wife of Bishop E. Mark Stevenson, has died. Their journey together in life has been a reflection of her name. Grieving her death with our bishop are their children, grandchildren, and a multitude of family and friends. Those who knew Joy have spoken of her compassion, generosity of spirit, and loving presence. More than a partner in marriage, she engaged in her own ministry of support, service, and counsel to all she encountered. She was a good and faithful servant of God. We pray that Joy now rests in peace as she begins life again in the presence of our Creator. Further information concerning a service to celebrate her life will be announced as soon as arrangements are made. I ask your prayers for Bishop Stevenson and his family, that God’s grace and comfort will endow them with the strength they will need as they mourn the wonderful Joy. May the words of St. Paul in the Letter to the Romans uphold the Stevenson Family and all who share in their grief:| For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, Yours In The Risen Christ, +Gayle Elizabeth Harris Funeral DetailsVisitationWednesday, 13 November 2024 Requiem LiturgyThursday, 14 November 2024 BurialSaturday, 16 November 2024 In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in her name to: Episcopal Migration Ministries |
