ADDISON — Joyce Vincent, 79, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021, at her home in Addison, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on May 12, 1942, in St. Albans, the daughter of William Erwin and Marie Aurora Allen. Joyce married her high school sweetheart, Ronald H. Vincent. They had just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

Vincent; her children, Jeff Kasupski (Anne), Tina Telgen (Ronald), William Vincent (Patricia), Cathy Vincent, Wyatt Vincent (Christine), Wade Vincent (Yolanda Taufa’asau-Vincent), Michael Vincent (JoAllen), Chad Vincent (Nami) and Jason Vincent (Patricia); grandchildren Kyle and Kevin Kasupski, Nicole Paquette (Heath), Michelle Davis (Russell), Kimberly Moulton (Ryan), William Vincent (Ciera Hoyt), Elise Taufa’asau-Vincent, Nina Taufa’asau-Vincent (Robert Armstrong Sr.), Cheyanne Toledano (Yvette), Allen Vincent (Kersten Crowley), Makayla Vincent and Payton Vincent; and great-grandchildren Reese, Liam, Lydia, Jed, and Hana Paquette, Jonah and Cameron Davis, Michael Taufa’asau-Vincent, Robert Armstrong Jr., Anuhea Armstrong and Genevieve Toledano.
