The Keene State community mourns the passing of Joyce Bridgeo Wick ’52, who left us on August 31, 2012. She was born in Manchester, Vermont, and earned her degree in education from what was then Keene Teachers College. She taught elementary school in Missouri, California, and Connecticut. After she married Paul L. Wick in 1962, the couple settled in Vernon, Connecticut, where they lived for four decades. After her husband died, Joyce relocated to Orlando, Florida.
Joyce traveled the US and the world, was a gourmet cook, and was active in her church. If you knew Joyce and would like to see photos of her life, please visit this online slide show.
We had hoped that Joyce would be able to join us last June at our 60th Reunion but unfortunately she was not feeling well enough to travel from Florida, but she sent her love to us all. She was with us on the 55th reunion and we had a great time together. She will certainly be missed by us all but especially Anita Nestor one of her close friends.. Anita was with us and had been in contact with Joyce as well as her son and so was able to share the sad news of her death.
What a marvelous tribute to Joyce. Shows how much she
was loved. We were so glad to see her at our 55th reunion
and disappointed that she was not well enough to join us
last June.
