Joyce Mary (Perrier) Nephew, born on March 31, 1934 in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Donald and Mary Perrier, passed away at age 84 on August 29, 2018 peacefully under VNA Hospice care, with family by her side in Sebastian, Florida. She is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Warren. She was preceded in death by her sister, Dorothy Podlaski. Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her brother Donald Perrier; sons, Scott (Denise) Nephew and Dean Nephew and girlfriend Erin Haskin; daughters, Patricia (Harold) Schenavar and Cheryl (Michael) Zelesky; and grandchildren, Kyle Schenavar, Mary Schenavar, Max Schenavar, Keith Schenavar, Kelley(Jacob) Vanover, Royce Nephew, Brenna Nephew, Grace Zelesky, Nick Nephew, and Joey Nephew; and great-grandson Jensen. She was a member of St. Sebastian Catholic Church. If someone could build the perfect mother it would be the one we all called our Mom. No one had a brighter, more contagious smile, positive attitude or uplifting spirit. She committed her life to Jesus and family and loved them with all of her heart.

On Sunday, September 9th, after a private graveside service, the family invites friends and neighbors to join them at their home, in Sebastian during the hours of 12:00 to 2:00, to honor and celebrate the life of Joyce.

Seawinds Funeral Home & Crematory is handling arrangements, 735 South Fleming Street, Sebastian, (772) 589-1933.

In lieu of flowers, donations made in memory of Joyce Nephew to VNA Hospice, 1110 35th Lane, Vero Beach, FL 32960 would be appreciated.
