Joyce Jarvi Obituary

With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Joyce Jarvi of Vero Beach, Florida, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on February 16, 2026 at the age of 86. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Joyce Jarvi to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Joyce farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Joyce is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Helen Wolf Kukelhan and Lester Kukelhan of Cincinnati. She is survived by: her husband Jerald "Jerry" Jarvi; her children, Joanna Jarvi Huffman, Jerald Richard Jarvi (Jay) and Jill Jarvi Jones; and her brother Richard "Dick" Kukelhan. She is also survived by six grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you kindly make a donation to VNA Hospice of Vero Beach or Christ Church of Vero Beach.
