Joyce F. Cozby

February 10, 1953 — December 12, 2023

Joyce F. Cozby, 70, of Massillon, passed away unexpectedly at her home on December 12, 2023. She was born on February 10, 1953, in Venezuela to the late Gerardus and Clara (Yrausquin-Aldama) Fernandez and was 1 of 13 children.

She worked as a claim’s service assistant at State Farm and retired after 15 years. Following retirement, Joyce enjoyed working at Mercy Medical Center as a Spanish-English interpreter which she did for many years.

Joyce was devoted to her faith and was an active member at Faith Family Church where she dedicated much of her time for services and other church events.

Most of all, Joyce enjoyed the time spent with her family and friends. She also loved traveling with her husband George.

She will be remembered as a wonderful and caring woman, an inspiration to many, and a devoted wife and mother.

Joyce is survived by her husband of 35 years, George Cozby; her son Gabriel (Rhonda Jogerst) Cozby; as well as many siblings, cousins, and other extended family members.

In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by her son, Jonathan Fernandez.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, February 10th from 11am to 12pm at Faith Family Church, Entrance B, 8200 Freedom Ave. NW., North Canton, Ohio, 44720.

A memorial service will begin promptly at 12 p.m. following calling hours.
