Joyce LaRue Firce

Joyce LaRue Bradfield Firce, age 85, of Randleman, NC, passed away on May 16, 2025, in Guilford County.

Joyce was born on April 4, 1940, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, to Harold Bradfield and June Hoffheins. She later moved to Edgely, PA, where she and her husband, Ronald, lovingly raised their family before retiring to North Carolina.

Joyce and her husband, Ronald Firce, were married for 67 wonderful years, sharing a life full of love, devotion, and family.

She is preceded in death by her grandson, Liam Rosen.

Joyce is survived by her devoted husband, Ronald Firce; her daughters, Beth Firce, Barbara Barton (Brian), Patricia Lerew (Glenn), and Kristin Rosen (Bil); and her grandchildren, Elissa Darnell, Carly Darnell, Michael Darnell, Kelsey Barton, Daniel Barton (Rachel), Jordan Lerew (Christina), and Sebastian Rosen. Great grandchildren Korey Darnell, Rylen Lerew, and Killian Lerew. She is also survived by her sister, Doris Smith; her nephew, Erik Freeman (Anne); her sister-in-law, Karen Rollison (David); and her brother-in-law, Gary Firce.
