On February 1, 2026, Joyce Ann Doell passed away at Great Plains Health with her devoted family next to her. Joyce was 83 years old.

She was born on March 7, 1942, in York County, Nebraska and raised by her parents Abraham and Rosie (Kirkpatrick) Doell, along with her 6 siblings.

Joyce was a busy woman, filling her time with an array of different hobbies. She was an outdoorswoman, enjoying fishing and camping, so much so that she and her husband, Roger lived in a camper for 4 years. She also adored her plants and tending to her flower gardens. Joyce was an avid reader, from romance to sci fi, loved her western shows and was known to be crafty, making many blankets, shirts, and hats over the years.

Most of all, Joyce treasured her family. She leaves behind her husband of 35 years, Roger Goodwin of Hershey; children, Russell (Tammy) Kreachbaum of Central City, Deanna (Kevin) Weir of Phillips, and Jessie (Charles) World of Cheyenne, WY; grandchildren, Jeremy (Michaelea) Kreachbaum, Heather (Ian) Jefferies, Shelbie (Aaron) Schulte; Kamden Wilson, and Connor Wilson; great grandchildren, Isaiah, Grayson, Jaynee, Jayden, Isaac, Kolbi, Jaxxon, Emersyn, Nova, Madison, and Nolan; siblings, Janice Trewern of Arizona, Jerald (Yvonne) Doell of Lincoln, Jeff (Nancy) Doell of Giltner.

Joyce is preceded in death by her parents, Abraham and Rosie; daughter, Jaynee Ellen; siblings, Jill Stevens and Jim Doell.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Pawsitive Partners to honor Joyce’s love of animals. Online condolences may be shared at adamsswanson.com.
