Joyce Ellerie Fink

Joyce Ellerie Fink passed away peacefully at her Lancaster home on August 12, 2021, after a brief battle with Leukemia. She was surrounded by her loving family. Joyce was born in York Pennsylvania and was the daughter of the late Raymond and Ellerie Haller. She is survived by her husband, Ronald Fink, with whom she celebrated 62 years of marriage in May of this year. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a friend to many.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by three daughters: Elizabeth Lowry (Kurt Brubaker), Columbia Pennsylvania, Karinsue Miller (Matthew), Albrightsville Pennsylvania, and Julia Sloat, Marietta Pennsylvania. She loved her five grandchildren, Bailey Moser (Michael), Jasmine Sloat, Kendra Sloat, Jacob Miller, and Libby Herr (Jordan).  She also loved a great granddaughter, Nora Moser, a great grandson, Gavin Herr, and another great grandson who will join her family in October.

Joyce was a teacher, a medical assistant, and had her own interior decorating business. She was an avid bridge player and enjoyed cooking, gardening, and reading. She had great talent in designing and quilting quilts for family and friends. It was important to Joyce to be a servant for others as she volunteered in the community.
