Joyce Catherine McLaughlin

Joyce Catherine McLaughlin, age 89, of Kimberly, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Saturday, June 9, 2018, at Brewster Village. Joyce was born on February 16, 1929, daughter of the late Louis and Veronica (Philippi) Kort. After graduating from Clintonville High School, she married Eugene (Mac) McLaughlin at St. Rose Catholic Church on June 12, 1948. Mac passed in 1996. Joyce enjoyed her work in sales at J.C. Penney, retiring after 29 years.

In Joyce’s younger years, she enjoyed shopping, going out to eat and road trips. She was an avid sports fan who loved to watch the Packers and the Brewers. However, the Kimberly Papermakers were her favorite sports team. She stayed active supporting her children and grandchildren by attending many games. In her later years she became a “snow bird” who traveled to Texas during the winters with her brother. She cherished her time attending to her family and spending time with her grandchildren.

Joyce is survived by her children: Patricia (Mike) Sexton of Kimberly, Jeff (Amy) McLaughlin or Little Chute, and Greg (Lisa) McLaughlin of Oshkosh; grandchildren: Kelly (Jess) Sexton, Ann (Dan) Gigstead, Megan (Jeremy) Wood, Matt McLaughlin, Beth (Adam) Bonikowske, Mitch (Dani) McLaughlin and Cooper McLaughlin; and her great grandchildren: Brianne, Clare, Kate, Beckett, McKenzie, Owen, Tucker, Hayden and Roman. She is further survived by her brother Louis Kort. In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, her son: Mark McLaughlin, and her sister: Grace McLaughlin.
