I found Joyce's daughter, Maureen Garbinski, was Maureen Barry, Scotch Plains HS 1989-1993 and married Brian Garbinski. They live in Fanwood, NJ Joyce was previously Joyce Barry. She married classmate William Barry.


While on Classmates I found a note from William Barry, a person I hardly knew. Here is his story.

Memorial Service for Joyce Morrissey

The Memorial Service to celebrate Joyce’s life has been set for Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 2:00 at the Skylands Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

We would like everyone to be a part of this celebration of Joyce. We all know Joyce’s passion for growing and photographing flowers. I would like to ask each of you to bring a flower from your garden, from a field, from where ever you’d like, to place in a vase at the fellowship. I want her family and friends to bring this beauty she so loved into our simple, unadorned building through your flowers.

There will also be a time for sharing memories and stories. Everyone will be a part of this time of our celebration either by sharing or by listening. This is a time for all of us to share tears of laughter, tears of joy and yes, even tears of sadness.

After our service I welcome anyone who would like to come to our home on Mountain Lake in Liberty Township to continue our celebration of life with friends, family and food!! We are about 15 miles from the church. Directions to our home will be available at the service.

Before and After


This is a wedding announcement that I found for Joyce's former husband, William Barry. There is a high probability that this is not the correct William Barry. This appeared Feb 7, 1985, therefore the wedding was probably in June 1985.
