Joyce Melancon Savoie

Joyce Melancon Savoie, age 85, was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, and dear friend to many. She worked hard throughout her life and found joy in singing, crocheting, and spending time with those she loved. Among her final handmade treasures were baby blankets, lovingly crocheted for little ones to cherish. Her love for family and friends, and the memories she created, will forever remain in their hearts.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Bobby Savoie, with whom she shared 70 years together, nearly 69 of those years in marriage.

She is also survived by their children: Bobby Savoie Jr. and his wife, Christine; Ronnie Savoie; Dwayne Savoie; Karen Savoie Williams; and Pamela Savoie Hebert; her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her beloved grandsons, Jobie Nicholas Esponge and Zachary Joseph Savoie; her father, Alcide Melancon; her mother, Angelle Bourgeois Melancon Duet; Livingston Duet; her brother, Herbert Melancon; her brother, Stephen Melancon and his wife, Eloise Duet Melancon; her sister, Audrey Melancon Richoux and her husband, Fred Richoux; her sister, Deanna Melancon Faulk and her husband, Bob Faulk; her goddaughter, Stacy Ann Faulk; and her son-in-law, Toby James Hebert, beloved husband of Pamela.

In accordance with her wishes, there will be no formal funeral services. The family will gather privately to honor her life and memory.

Joyce’s love and devotion to her family were the heart of her life. Her final wish was to wait for her beloved Bobby, a reflection of the beautiful bond they shared throughout their years together.

She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by all who knew and loved her.
