Joyce White Obituary

WOODSTOCK

Joyce Mary White, 92, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2025. Born in Hartford on January 14, 1933, the daughter of Carl and Grace (Bessette) Brolin, she lived most of her life in Woodstock, CT. She leaves her daughter, Cindy Brown Colella (Jeff), her sons, Windsor N. White III (Amy) and John W. White (Gail), six grandchildren, (Jennifer McCormick (James), Chapman, Nathan, Jameson, Daniel and Aaron White), her

brothers, Carl Brolin (Carol) and William Brolin (Grace), her sister, Donna Matulis (David), and many cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, George W. White and four children who died in infancy.

A graduate of Woodstock Academy, Joyce worked as a secretary/bookkeeper. She married George on July 3, 1954. They raised their family in Woodstock where Joyce was a homemaker and was active in the community. When her children were older,

Joyce entered and graduated from the LPN program at Windham Tech. She was a respected nurse at Day Kimball Hospital for many years.

Joyce enjoyed traveling, lunches with friends, theater, gardening, card games, reading, cooking and baking. Home and family were most important to her and she enjoyed her grandchildren immensely. Her home was open to all, with the coffee pot ready and goodies waiting on the table. Holidays and large family gatherings were frequently held at her home.

The family extends their gratitude and appreciation to those who cared for Joyce in her last years: her home caregivers and the staff at Pierce Memory Care and MapleView Manor.
