Joyce Lohman

Joyce E. Lohman, age 88, of Jenison, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, surrounded by her family.

Born on September 20, 1937, in Shelby, Michigan, to Bernard and Eleanor Baade, Joyce spent much of her career as a hairdresser where her beauty shop was a place of laughter and joy, and her friends became family. What she loved most was taking care of people. Whether it was baking a birthday cake, taking care of the grandkids, or serving others in a multitude of ways, she was well known for her passion to serve others. She enjoyed time in her Bible study and embodied the love of Jesus to all who knew her. In the words of Joyce herself, “I want to be remembered as the woman who loves her Jesus.”

Joyce is survived by her children, Randy and Kari Lohman, Connie and Matthew Palsrok; and her seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren who were the light of her life. She is also survived by her brother, Duwain Baade; sisters-in-law, Marlene Lohman and Phyllis Auble; as well as several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, James E. Lohman.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 1, at Cottonwood Church, 1101 Cypress Dr., Jenison, with Pastor Matt Palsrok officiating. Relatives and friends may visit with the family on Thursday, April 30, from 5-7 p.m. at the church.
