Joyce E. Jack, 1946-2020

Joyce was born Aug. 17, 1946, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late John and Ann Macabobby Sikora.

A 1964 graduate of Boardman High School, Joyce received her certification as a medical assistant from the Cleveland Clinic and specialized as a heart / lung machine technician. At the beginning of the cellphone era, Joyce saw an opportunity and changed her career to sales for Cellular One, becoming one of its leading sales representatives until she suffered a brain aneurysm in 1986.

Throughout her life, Joyce had a passion for horses and was an avid equestrian, showing quarter horses. Joyce had the warmest heart and most beautiful smile. Her infectious personality touched everyone she came into contact with. Joyce was passionate about helping others and was the most giving person. She will be greatly missed.

Joyce leaves her daughter, Jill Wedeles of Fort Myers, Fla.; son, Joseph “Joey” Ciavarella of North Lima; and two brothers, John “Larry” Sikora of West Virginia and William (Geraldine) Sikora of Maryland.

In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by her brother, James Sikora.

A memorial service celebrating Joyce’s life will be announced at a later date.

Memorial contributions can be made in Joyce’s name to Holy Apostles Parish at St. Stephen of Hungary Church, 854 Wilson Ave., Youngstown, OH 44506.
