Joyce Ann Beach passed away on October 9, 2026, in Huntington Beach, California. She was born on September 12, 1941, in Nebraska, and lived a life marked by Christian love, care, and service to others.

For 25 years, Joyce served as a middle school teacher, a calling that reflected her steady commitment to young people and to education. Through her work in the classroom, she devoted herself to guiding students during important formative years, and her years of teaching stand as a meaningful part of her life and legacy.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, John Beach. She is lovingly remembered by her family, including her sister, Sheryl, and family in Kansas; her daughter, Jennifer Gerrity, and her husband, Scott, and their children, Ben and Katelyn, of Huntington Beach; and her son, Jason Beach of Corona. Those who knew and loved Joyce will remember her with gratitude and affection, and her memory will remain a lasting presence in the lives of her family. Well done, good and faithful servant.
