Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Saturday, August 15th, 2026.
Loving wife of Richard “Rich” A. Turner; devoted mother of Anne (Joe) Perry, Tracy (Michael) Turner-Bumberry, and Rick Turner; adoring grandmother of Genna (Matt), June, Savannah, Rachel, and Sam; dearest daughter of the late Edward and Myrtle Wehmeyer (nee Herzog; our dear sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt, cousin, and friend to many.
Joyce thrived in her role as stay-at-home mom for many years while her children were young.
She later worked at Boeing and retired from there after 22 years. In both roles, Joyce brought commitment and care in all that she did.
Joyce enjoyed movies, going to church, outings with family, and especially going to live theater at Stages and the Fox. She was a prayerful woman and could be counted on to pray for anyone in need. Above all, her greatest love was her family. They were her everything, and she was deeply devoted to them.
In lieu of flowers, contributions made to the charity of your choice are appreciated.
SERVICES: Visitation will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church (2 Seton Ct., 63303) on Thursday, August 20th from 10:00 AM -11:00 AM with Mass beginning at 11:00 AM. Interment at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
My heart is aching due to the passing of my dear friend/aunt, Joyce. She has always been there for me. We shared so much throughout the years. Her brother, Jim (Kaley) called her Jo Jo. She always preferred that; so, rest in peace Jo Jo.

What a gift it was to have Joyce as my mom. We love you mom; rest in peace, and know we’ll be caring for dad.
I am so lucky to have had such an amazing grandma in my life for almost 30 years. I am beyond grateful that this year I was able to have her at my wedding and that I was able to spend time with her at her favorite place, The Fox. I love you and will miss you Gunga.
To my mom,
Thank you for a life with an ideal childhood , you were home with me so I could play freely and be safe, so that I could yell “mom” and you would come running. Thank you for encouraging education that led me to my passion for nursing. Thank you for being the perfect wife, so that I knew what real love and marriage was supposed to look like.
Thank you for teaching me about faith, and your love of the Holy Family. I will never stop praying to the Holy Spirit.
I rest in the peace that you are with Christ, the Mother Mary, and all of your family that went before you. Love you and I will see you again.
Anne
I’ve had such a hard time trying to summarize how much I love my Mawmaw, but it’s not possible. I have too many fond memories to count. What I can say is she taught me to love learning, to love theatre, and most importantly to love myself. To be loved by Joyce was to be loved for your entire being. I’ll miss you every single day Mawmaw, and treasure every day I had with you.
