It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Joyce Kirkwood, 88, on January 23, 2025. Joyce was born on Christmas day in 1936.
She was a treasured Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Joyce will be remembered for her quick wit and unique sense of humor. Besides being the life of any party, Joyce was an avid golfer, Bridge player, painter and loved to travel.
Joyce was strong-willed at times, but she also had an enormous heart and could bring a laugh and perspective to any situation and her presence will be deeply missed.
Preceding her in death was her dear husband, Kenneth Kirkwood. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Shawna Graham (Barry), Cindy Nelson, Sheri Kirkwood (Warren), Shane Kirkwood (Debbie), and Stacy Barnes ( Johnny); grandchildren: Brianne Graham, Jason Graham, Jessica Graham, Kelly Humphrey (Brent), Shea Kirkwood, and Cole Kirkwood; and nine great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 15, 2025 at First Colonial Inn at 845 Colonial Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23451.
