Joyce Ann Ginise, age 81, passed away peacefully on April 12 due to a brief illness. She was born on July 27, 1940 in Port Chester, NY to Joseph and Mary Metrusky. Joyce was raised in Byram, CT and was a graduate from Greenwich High School. In October 1960, she married her husband, Anthony M. Ginise, who preceded her in death in 2013.
Joyce was fiercely dedicated to her children and grandchildren. She was always on the sidelines, cheering on their passions and successes. Her support and love will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Joyce had five children, Anthony (deceased ), Joyce Marzulla (Michael), Jenny Kleber (Steven), Dale Ginise, and Mary Ann Ginise. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren, Michael Marzulla, Joseph Marzulla, Matthew Marzulla, Stephanie Kleber, Ryan Kleber, and Jason Kleber; and sisters, Judith St. Amore and Patricia Castle; and many nieces and nephews. All of them, she loved and touched deeply.
Joyce was a passionate animal lover; and her pets, Ajax and Mr. G, will miss her greatly.
