Family Tribute

Joyce was born and raised in Wyandotte and graduated from Roosevelt in 1952.  It was there that she met first true love,  Dick Loucks.  Joyce and Dick married and had 4 girls in 5 ½ years.  Unfortunately, their love story ended too soon when Dick died suddenly in 1972.  Joyce was left as a widow at the young age of 38 years old to raise her 4 young girls.

She dedicated her life for many years raising the girls while working at Great Lakes Steel as an Exec Assistant. During her 23-year career she made many new friends, joined clubs and teams and became an avid tennis player.  Soon after her girls left for college and marriage she met and later married her second true love, Albert Schuster.  Together they led an active life which included competitive dancing.  They lived in both Florida and northern Michigan at the family cottage on Starvation Lake.  Joyce and Albert worked tirelessly to help renovate the cottage into a beautiful lake home for all the family to enjoy.  After Albert was diagnosed with Alzheimers she dedicated her life for many years to be his caretaker.  Soon after his passing her own health started to decline.

For those who knew Joyce well she will be remembered as a classy, beautiful and strongly independent wife, mother, grandmother , sister, daughter and friend. She loved her family more than anything and loved to gather for all the family traditions in style.  Our hearts are broken knowing she is no longer with us as we find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering.

Family Tribute

Salvador Perez, age 93 of Wyandotte, passed away on October 11, 2022.  He was born in Mexico on July 7, 1929 to Carmen and Severiano Perez.  “Chava” was the third of 12 children. He came to the United States in the late 1950’s and married Gloria, the love of his life, in 1960.  They moved to Wyandotte in 1966 and together they raised 4 daughters.

Sal was a loving, kind and generous man. He had a very strong religious faith and was devoted to his family.  For many years he worked two jobs to support his family and send his daughters to college. He cherished and was adored by his 4 grandchildren and was very active in raising them.

He was a longtime barber in Wyandotte and owned 2 different shops, one at the south end and later one on the north end of town.  Everyone knew and loved “Sal the Barber”.

Sal and Gloria were active members of St Patrick’s parish in Wyandotte and he served as an usher for several years.

Sal was a talented soccer player and played with several local clubs, including Club Germania. He loved gardening (he had a very green thumb), playing guitar, singing, taking his family on vacations and tinkering in his garage.

Our hearts are broken that he is no longer with us here on earth but we are comforted knowing he is no longer suffering and is reunited with our Mom in Heaven.
