Chamberlain. Don joined the Navy in 1943 and served in the Pacific until 1947. Joyce and Don were died in 1989 at the young age of 63, and Joyce moved to the Bellingham area soon thereafter. Joyce held many jobs over the years, but being a preschool teacher was her favorite, after motherhood, of course. She loved learning and the quest to improve herself. She had a flair for design and a passion for gardening, until age slowed her down a bit. Afterward, she focused her energy in exploring the finer art of bridge with her friends from the Assistance League of Bellingham. Joyce enjoyed making Bellingham her home and supporting locally owned businesses. She discovered that Bellingham takes itself seriously and enjoyed following County Council politics and issues on television and local news articles. Joyce believed everyone had a duty and responsibility to get informed, understand the issues, and take a position. She approached life with the same intensity. She leaves behind her daughter Susan and husband Larry Sanders of Lake Whatcom; son Todd and wife Darci Chamberlain of Simi Valley, CA; and her grandchildren: Collin, Katie, and Chelsea. Of all the time she had, she wished for more at the end. She wanted to see grandchildren grown, to travel again, and to visit with you as a friend. We will miss her. In lieu of cards or flowers, please make donations to the Assistance League of Bellingham or Whatcom Hospice. Family Services will be held at a later date.
