Joyce Sharon (Hert) Greenwald

Joyce Sharon Greenwald, of Powell Wyoming passed peacefully in her home on November 11, 2008. She was born on January 5, 1935 to Sam and Leah (Steinmetz) Hert in Hardin, MT. She was a loving daughter who was very close to her family, especially her father. While she was attending Hardin High School she met her future husband Robert C. Greenwald. They were united in marriage on February 5, 1952 in Billings, MT, and were life partners for 56 years. After living in various towns throughout Montana and Wyoming they settled in Powell, in 1969 with their four children Gary, Gail, Janet, and Leah.

Joyce was a quick-witted woman with a spirited sense of humor that always made you smile. She loved music and dancing - whether she was playing the accordion, listening to Elvis Presley, or dancing with her children when they were young. She enjoyed gardening and flowers, and loved to sit down to a great book. She was an avid football contest player and her picks won on several occasions. Her family was very important to her and she found great enjoyment in her grandchildren.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Jim Hert, and her sister Dorothy Althoff.

Joyce is survived by her husband, Robert of Powell, a brother Tom (Jo) Hert of Snoquamie, a sister-in-law Gloria Hert of Billings, a son Gary (Jeanne) Greenwald of Powell, daughters Gail (Bill) Fisher of Hardin, Janet (Keven) Bentz of Billings, and Leah (Bill) Gullion of Powell.

Her seven great-grandchildren are Kade Ziegler, Maria Bentz, Lauryn Greenwald, Konner Ziegler, Aiden Greenwald, Kieran Cooney, and Kaylen Greenwald.
