Joyce Arlene Broadhead Lee

Joyce Arlene Broadhead, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, passed away on October 20, 2026, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Joyce was born on August 24, 1933, in Heber City, Utah, to David Alden "Al" and Helen Mae Broadhead. During her childhood, she lived in both Heber City, Utah and Shoupe, Idaho, along the Salmon River. Heber City remained her home for most of her life, and it was there that she spent her final years in the very home where she had grown up—a special connection to the place and memories she held dear.

Joyce worked at Days Market for 32 years, where she became a familiar and much-loved face to people throughout the Heber Valley. Her quick wit, sassy personality, and warm heart made her someone people remembered and loved. Over the years, she touched countless lives, and her presence became a cherished part of the community.

A woman of many talents, Joyce had a wonderful artistic side. She enjoyed painting ceramics and expressing her creativity through the beautiful decorations she arranged on her patio each summer. She had an eye for beauty and a special way of making things around her feel welcoming and personal.

Above all else, Joyce treasured her family. Spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren brought her tremendous joy. She was loving, caring, hardworking, and witty. She had a beautiful spirit and a way of bringing joy to those she met. Her family will remember her for her loving heart, her sharp sense of humor, her strength, and the countless ways she made each of them feel special.

One of the special relationships in Joyce’s life was the close bond she shared with her sister, Carol. They were not only sisters but also dear friends who enjoyed spending time together. Whether they were out shopping or simply enjoying each other’s company, they treasured the time they had together. Their friendship was a special part of Joyce’s life and the memories they created together will always be a treasured part of their story as sisters. We all love you Aunt Carol!

Joyce is survived by her sister, Carol Anderson; her four children, Vicki (David) Sweat, Michael (Angie) Cummings, David (Tamara) Cummings, and Kelly (Pamela) Cummings; 22 grandchildren; 60 great-grandchildren; and 12 great-great-grandchildren. Her family was her greatest treasure, and the love she gave them will continue through generations to come.

She was preceded in death by her parents, David Alden "Al" and Helen Mae Broadhead, and her brothers and their spouses, Dennis (Anna) Broadhead and Milan (Paula) Broadhead.

Those who knew Joyce will forever remember her beautiful smile, her wit, and the love she shared so freely. One of her favorite ways of expressing that love was through the words she lovingly wrote in her Christmas and birthday cards:

“Love you, Always and Forever.”

Those words were more than a familiar sign-off. They were a reflection of Joyce herself and the lasting love she leaves with all who were fortunate enough to know her. Though she will be deeply missed, her love will live on in the hearts of her family and in the memories they will treasure always.

Love you, Mom, Always and Forever.
