Sparland- Joyce A. Spellious, 83, of Sparland, IL passed away at 3:43 pm on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at OSF St. Francis Medical Center.

Joyce worked as a bookkeeper in Peoria at LeTourneau for 17 years.
She is survived by many nieces and nephews.
Joyce was a jewel that can't be replaced and will not be forgotten. She was a loving and dedicated wife to Marshall and she was his committed health care provider in his last years. She spent her life caring for Marshall, his parents, her parents, and anyone who did not have someone to help them. She loved life on the farm and there are many stories of her butchering, cooking, gardening, canning, and tending to the animals. She loved nature and animals and at one time you would see her walking up the lane to the mailbox followed by her beloved dogs and pet geese. She was the kind of woman that all mothers hope their son will find. She will be greatly missed.
