Joyce Elizabeth (Reinmiller) Arthaud, aged 98, died on December 14, 2021 at her home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Born on May 5, 1923 to parents John and Jeanette (Pape) Reinmiller, Joyce grew up on a farm in Staplehurst, Nebraska. She graduated from Seward High School and worked for a time at the Staplehurst Post Office. She moved with her family to White Bear Lake in 1959, where she raised her seven children. Many people knew her as a friendly “lunch lady” at Parkview, Lakeaires and Sunrise Schools. She loved nature, feeding the birds, gardening, exchanging old-fashioned mail, baking for others, keeping track of the weather, and reading her morning newspaper with a nice cup of tea.

Joyce was preceded in death by her husband Raymond; son Richard; daughter Ann Perszyk; son-in-law John Coughlin; her parents; and her brothers, Cletus, Bernard, Mike and Otis. She is survived by her children Susan, Mary Beth, Joseph (Beverly), Greg (Lisa) and Ronald (Gail); ten grandchildren; and one brother, Ronald (Vivian) Reinmiller.

A private celebration of life is planned. Memorials are preferred to Twin Cities Public Television or your favorite nature center.
