Joyce Ann Huff
December 24, 1941 — July 24, 2026
Joyce Ann Huff, 84, of West Des Moines, passed away on July 24, 2026.
Joyce was born on December 24, 1941, in Des Moines, Iowa, to Jack and Leona (Davidson) McNeley. She shared 53 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Ralph Huff.
Joyce devoted her life to her family, serving as a homemaker and faithfully supporting her husband throughout his ministry as a preacher's wife. Her deep faith led her to become an ordained minister, and she found great joy in teaching Sunday school, sharing God's love and His Word with generations of children and families.
A gifted artist, Joyce found great joy in painting and drawing, sharing her creativity with those around her. One of her greatest pleasures was spending weekends with her grandchildren when they were young. Those special visits were filled with crafts, laughter, love, and cherished memories that will remain with them forever.
Joyce will be lovingly remembered by her children, Chuck (Melissa) Huff, Suzanne (Brian) Campbell, Robin (Andy) Johnson, and Matt (Teri) Huff; her 12 grandchildren; and her 14 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ralph Huff; her parents, Jack and Leona McNeley; her great-grandson, Myles; and her siblings, Harold, Bud, Sue, Betty, and Sharon.
Joyce's kindness, unwavering faith, artistic spirit, and love for her family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A private celebration of life in honor of Joyce will be held at a later date.
