JoyceAnn was born on December 20, 2018, to Tammy Joy Granados and Michael Marshall in Bismarck, North Dakota.
JoyceAnnie was the brightest star that her family revolved around. She loved wearing dresses and pigtails and playing with bubbles and slime. She colored and painted with her siblings and cousins. She rode her bike around the prairie and played with chalk on any sidewalk she could find. She watched scary movies that would make her jump in excitement.
JoyceAnn walked through the world with the eyes of an explorer. She liked watching people, observing every little action and curious to know how everything was done, from brushing her teeth to riding her bike to making popcorn. Her inquisitive mind had no limits.
JoyceAnn marched to the beat of her own drum, and her family enthusiastically followed in step behind her. Her dad acted as the shadow to her Peter Pan, chasing her as she flew from one place to another. Her siblings were more than happy to go on new adventures with her. And her momma was always there to make sure she was able to experience those adventures to the fullest.
She loved dancing to the tunes of Baby Shark, Lizzo, and Dance Monkey. Some of her biggest favorites in the world were Blippi, Poppy, berries, dinosaurs, French fries (dipped in ice cream), Vienna sausage, blue Powerade, juice, Boba, carnivals, and the color green. She loved her sisters and brother, who were her favorite people.
JoyceAnn leaves behind her parents; her big sisters: Mahpiya Luta Win Eagle Hunter and Cooper Jay Marie Marshall; her big brother, Akicita Ryker Kole Eagle Hunter; her baby sister, Tallulah Josephine Marshall, her grandparents – Mabel Beth Granados, Greg Thompson, Amy Marshall and Melvin Semon, and a tiospaye that loves her dearly.
She was welcomed to the star camps by her great-grandparents: Marcella Elizabeth Granados, Clayton Cyril Bad Moccasin Granados, Carol Ann Thompson, Joyce Circle Eagle Hill, Clifford (Bob) Marshall and Mildren and Dave Semon; and many more relatives, whose hands made sure she was never lost.
JoyceAnn was a Cheyenne River Lakota country girl, a wild prairie flower right at home on the open plains of La Plant, South Dakota. She was never alone, and her family will carry her smile with them forever. She left this world surrounded by love and entered the next world the same way.
Luce Funeral Home of Gettysburg has been entrusted with JoyceAnn’s arrangements. (www.familyfuneralhome.net)
