Joyce Elaine Chudlic was born Dec. 21, 1932, in Belle Plaine, Iowa. She was the daughter of Frank and Ella Peterzalek Chudlic. Joyce graduated from the Belle Plaine High School and continued her education at Mount Mercy School of Nursing. She started her nursing career at Mercy Medical Center, Cedar Rapids, in orthopedics. Joyce Chudlic and Dean Nosbish were married April 27, 1957, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Cedar Rapids. The couple lived in Monticello where Joyce continued nursing at the John McDonald Hospital until its closure. She later retired after working at the Monticello Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Joyce was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church where she was active in the quilting group. Anyone close to Joyce knew she held a special place in her heart for her dogs. She was also an avid collector of recipes and enjoyed not only cooking, but learning new ways while watching cooking shows. Joyce also spent her time gardening, reading and creating cross stitches.
Joyce's family will always remember and would like to extend their gratitude for the excellent care provided by Above and Beyond Home Health, Hiawatha Care Center, Unity Point St. Luke's Hospital 4 Center and Hospice Unit. A special thanks to Dr. Mary Anne Nelson and the St. Luke's Hospitalists team.
