Joyce Marie Heckenlaible was born October 23, 1939, to Reuben Sr. and Katherine (Bawdon) Heckenlaible. She was baptized and raised in the Methodist faith. In 1957, she graduated from Highmore High School. She was united in marriage to Dennis Denton Glanzer September 27, 1963. She spent her life in Highmore waitressing at various hometown businesses.  About 2011, her daughter convinced her to “retire” and move in with them to spend more time enjoying her three grandchildren.  
She enjoyed crafting, reading, sewing and finding the good deals at the rummage sales. She loved planting her flowers, gardening and watching all the animals at their hobby farm. But her all-time favorite was playing games and cards with her grandkids.  
She is survived by her daughter, Lexie (Nick) Westphal; and grandchildren, Tyrel, Alexis and Erika.
She was preceded in death by her parents; an infant daughter; an infant son; and one brother.
Luze Funeral Home of Highmore has been entrusted with Joyce’s arrangements.
