Joyce R. Essley Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on May 21, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Joyce R. Essley of Tulsa, Oklahoma, born in Boston, Massachusetts. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

In the vast expanse of eternity, may Joyce find peace everlasting, cradled in the gentle embrace of the universe. And as we stand on the shores of remembrance, may her legacy inspire us to live each day with purpose, passion, and profound gratitude for the gift of life itself.

She was predeceased by: her parents, George Rollins and Marion Rollins; and her siblings, Margaret Geoffrion (Lee) and George Rollins. She is survived by: her husband John P. Essley of Tulsa, OK; her stepchildren, Mark C. Essley (Andrea) of San Diego, CA and Michelle C.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Francis Hospital Hospice.
