Joyce C. Beard | The Berne Witness

Joyce C. Beard

Joyce C. Beard, 77, of Berne passed away on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at Swiss Village in Berne, where she was a resident. She was born on March 23, 1940 in Adams County to Amos and Ida (Kaehr) Moser. She was married on December 5, 1959 to Jerry L. Beard.

She was an active member of First Missionary Church in Berne. She was a secretary for various organizations, including Gilpin Ornamental Iron, Youth for Christ, Dunbar Furniture, and Economy Printing. She and her husband enjoyed traveling to all 50 states.
