Joyce Elaine Schasteen was born on April 4, 1940, the oldest of four girls to Ralph and Irene Cummins. On May 9, 2020, she was called home by our Father. She grew up in Pleasanton, Kan. She participated in band, 4H and other activities. She met her husband in 1958 at a local diner. They started dating that same year. They married June 3, 1961.

Joyce was loving and supportive to friends and family. Any friend, rather they be personal or a friend of her children or grandchildren, were considered part of the family. She was strong and weathered change as it came along; her love of family never wavered. She was there for every birthday, wedding, and was present at the birth of all of her great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Edward Schasteen; daughter Cynthia Bates; son Kenneth Schasteen and his wife Jennifer; grandchildren: Kenneth O. Schasteen, Amber Buckley, and Thomas and Hunter Bates; seven great-grandchildren, and three sisters; Kay Harris, Rosalea DeMott, and Sue Neubauer.

Please join us in remembering her by visiting our memorial at www.moore-funeralhome.com. Through this site, we invite you to share your thoughts and fond memories with our family.
