Joyce Marie Pikula, 83, of Willowick, OH passed away Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at her home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on August 15, 1942, in Cleveland, OH to the late William and Kathryn (Fox) Schneider.  On July 7, 1964, she married Andrew Anthony Pikula in Garfield Heights, OH and together they shared 58 years of love and memories before his passing on December 26, 2022.
Joyce worked at General Electric for 30 years and enjoyed arriving two hours early to play Rummy.  She also worked at The Nut Shop across from Higbee's Department Store.  In her free time, she was an active parishioner of the Catholic Church, enjoyed traveling, bowling in the G.E. league, making crafts and was an avid shopper. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren whose lives she played a very active role in.
She is survived by her daughters, Stacy (Pikula) Barzal and her husband Robert and Kim (Pikula) Harris; grandchildren, Amanda (Kevin), Nicholas (Desiree), Katie, Joshua, Sydney and Rylee; great-grandchildren, Aubree, Lainey, Ryleigh and Andrew; brothers, Jerry (Joyce) and Skip (Peggy, deceased).
