Joelle Higby, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away leaving behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and love.
Born with a brilliant mind and a caring heart, Joelle pursued her passion for understanding people by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She dedicated her career to serving others as a supervisor with Child Protective Services, where she worked tirelessly to protect and advocate for vulnerable children. Her commitment to this calling touched countless lives and left a lasting impact on her community.
Beyond her professional achievements, Joelle’s greatest joy was her family. She was the proud mother of five sons and one daughter, and the cherished grandmother of eleven grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Her family remembers her not only for her wisdom and intelligence but also for her humor, resilience, and the comfort of her steady presence. Joelle was known for her quick wit, her love of a cold Diet Coke with a splash of cherry, and her unmatched ability to listen and give guidance. She was highly intelligent, thoughtful, and deeply loyal to those she loved.
Her life was a testament to service, strength, and love, and her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her.
She will be dearly missed by her children, grandchildren, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to be touched by her kindness.
