Oklahoma December 2021 January 18, 1953 ~ December 7, 2021 Joyce Ann [Keeler] Balbantin was born on January 18th 1953 to Edward and Ruthie Lean [Henderson] Keeler. On February 23rd 1979 Joyce and her little boy Nathan married the love of her life and Nathan's new daddy Pablo Balbantin. From this union came two children Leticia Ann and Pablo Jr. Joyce was a fighter all her life and made sure things were always done her way and in her time. Joyce loved to spend time with her family, sewing, crossword puzzles and watching Christmas movies. She was very active in her kids schooling and was often PTA mom. Joyce began making cakes which she also enjoyed. She took pride in all she did and often even buckled the cakes she made in the seatbelt to make sure she got them delivered safely. She was the queen of her kitchen, and no one could do anything in her kitchen right. Sometimes her kids, daughter in laws or grandkids would try to help her but much to their surprise she would run them out. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she love to decorate her home for the holidays. Joyce is preceded in death by her one and only daughter Leticia Ann Lara, her dad Edward Keeler, one grandchild Lilliana Lara, and a son in law Ramiro Lara. Graveside funeral services to give thanks for and celebrate the life of Joyce Ann Balbantin are scheduled in the Katie Cemetery. Interment will follow under the direction of Wooster Funeral Home. |
