Joyce E. Curlew

Joyce E. Curlew, a loving mother, gramma, sister and friend, passed away on May 8, 2025 in Naples, Florida at the age of 68. Joyce was born to Bill and Norma Wark on June 11, 1956 in Cortez, Colorado.

Joyce's friends and family encompassed all aspects of her life, and each was equally special to her. From phone calls and texts, to various lunch and dinner get togethers, to her garden club friends and co-workers at Naples Fertilizer, Joyce was a friend to many.

Joyce is survived by her beloved son, Samson "Devon" (Melissa) Blazier; grandson, Dylan Blazier; sister, Sue Patterson; brother, Chuck Wark; and many other cherished extended family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Hal Blazier and Bob Curlew; parents, Bill and Norma Wark; and her sister, Mary Beth Banks.

Joyce will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

A celebration of life will be held on May 28, 2025, in Naples, FL, at Lowdermilk Park (south gazebo), starting at 5:30 p.m. Remarks by family and friends will begin at 6:00 p.m. Guests are encouraged to join family for sunset on the beach afterwards.
