Joyce Meckel Balmos, a beloved figure on River Road, passed away recently on Thursday, August 8, surrounded by her family. The community is deeply saddened by her passing, and her family is working to preserve her legacy in the place she called home for over 80 years.
Joyce, affectionately known as "Oma" by her grandchildren, was a guiding presence in the lives of many, always finding time to help others, especially her family and friends. River Road, where she lived for most of her life, was more than just a home; it was a gathering place where friends and family came together to visit, camp, and relax by the river—a place that Joyce loved dearly.
Her grandson, Brandyn Balmos, has organized a fundraiser to help alleviate the medical and legal costs associated with her passing. The fundraiser, titled "Please Help Us Preserve Joyce Meckel Balmos’ Legacy," aims to raise $7,500 to honor her memory. Brandyn has shared his heartfelt desire to plant trees and flora by the river, a gesture Joyce would have cherished.
Joyce leaves behind a close-knit family who is struggling to come to terms with their loss, including her grandchildren EJ and Dallas, her daughters Kathy, Janelle, and Fay, and her loyal German Shepherd, Heidi. The family is asking for support during this difficult time, and Brandyn’s words remind us all to cherish our loved ones and hold them close.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Balmos family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this challenging time.
