Joyce Ebert, nee Obernuefemann, age 77, lifelong resident of O’Fallon, born March 22, 1947, passed away at her home on Wednesday evening, February 5, 2025.
Joyce loved living on the farm, tending to the home and being with the lambs, sheep, and all the animals, including her beloved dog, Lettie. She and her late husband David were members of the St. Clair County Farm Bureau. She loved her family and thought the world of her grandchildren. Joyce was a proud member of Christ the King Apostolic Church in O’Fallon, and it was her hope to share the love of Jesus with others.
“May all mankind love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” -Deuteronomy 6:4-5. When I trusted in and looked to the Lord Jesus, our Almighty God, for what to do in my own life, He came through with everything I every needed; complete with being my Healer, Provider, Guide, Friend, to name just a few; he became my ALL and that was all that I needed and now I will go forth to Him. Thank you to all of you who made a difference in my life as well as my Husband’s. Love you and may God Bless ye all!
