Illa Joyce Cordell, daughter of the late Harry Ellsworth and Agnes Bell (Graham) Mutchler, was born on September 3rd, 1939, in Blanchard, Iowa. She passed away August 18, 2021, at Azria Health Care in Clarinda, Iowa.
Joyce was united in marriage to Leonard Cordell on June 21, 1955, and to this union they were blessed with five children. Joyce was a stay-at-home mother for a few years before working at O’ Bryan Brothers, retiring after the factory had closed.
Family was very important to Joyce, she coordinated the Mutchler family reunions for several years, which were filled with fun games for all as well as the baseball game that had to be played.
Joyce and Leonard loved to dance and listen to country music as well as visiting with friends and family and spending time with their grandchildren. Joyce always kept an endless supply of cookies for the kids to stop in and grab after school, she looked forward to those moments every year. Joyce enjoyed telling jokes and talking on the phone with family and friends. Joyce always had a great memory, if you couldn’t think of a phone number, you’d call her, and she would tell you.
Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard; sons, Randy Neil and Terry Lee; grandson, Levi Cordell; great-granddaughter, Peyten Spencer and all 11 of her siblings.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Deb (John) Weaver of Blockton, Cindy Moore of Bedford, and Kathy (James) Schrodt of Bedford; stepson, Keith Cordell (Rusty) of Billings, Montana; Cindra Elliot of Bosworth, Missouri; 14 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 10 great-great grandchildren.
