It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mother, Joyce Uren on Mother's Day, May 9, 2021. She went to be with our Lord, while at home surrounded by family, after a courageous two year battle with cancer.  She was born Joyce Elaine Hutchinson, daughter of Claire and LuLu Mae (Miller) Hutchinson (Grandma would kill us if she knew we used her real first name) on December 4, 1944, in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. She grew up during hard times, at one point living in a box car in a lumber camp, after their home burned down.  As a young woman she was very independent, earning her own money and buying a green 1954 Chevy that she and her girlfriends would drive around on the weekends. She loved to dance and jitterbug.  She met her soul mate, Myron Uren, in 1988 at a dance. They married and started a blended family. Joyce lived a full life as a wonderful mother, homemaker, farm girl, gardener and 27 years as a daycare provider. She was 'Grandma' to her daycare kids and kept in touch with them as they grew up.  She remained independent all of her life and was always busy doing something. She loved woodworking and made several projects with her grandchildren. She liked re-wiring old lamps, crocheting, sewing, and canning. She was a wonderful cook and made the best pasties in Wisconsin!She was a 'dumper' type of baker and when she made cookies with her grandchildren she let them dump in whatever they wanted, and the cookies were always good. She always had little helpers when baking pies. They were patchwork pies with the crusts pieced together, but they tasted great. She made her children fresh homemade bread, all ready to eat, when they got home from school. They were 20 years old when they found store bought bread that actually fit in the toaster.  Joyce loved spending time with her family and friends, holidays, dining out and garage saleing. She leaves behind a lot of 'stuff' that her children just don't know what to do with, such as gold filigree decor and crystal chandeliers.  She will be sorely missed and survived by her loving husband Myron Uren of Schofield, WI; children Kristine (David) Kurszewski of Wittenberg, Richard (Amy) Pingel of Bowler, Patrice Devine of Schofield and Kathy Hahn of Marathon; 15 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Step-children Lester (Kelly), Andrew (Debbie), Gwen (Greg) Lemke all of Iron River MI and Dawn Newberry in California. She also leaves behind four sisters and one brother. She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother and ex-husband Richard Pingel of Bowler. Being a descendant of King Henry II, we consider her a princess. A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday, May 13, 2021 at John J. Buettgen Funeral Home. Visitation 10:00 - 11:30am. Funeral service 11:30am. She is limiting crying to one hour, and then we go out to eat, on her! Please note her change of address; Forestville Cemetery, Ringle WI, Row E, #11.  We love and miss you Mom and know that you're looking down on us!
