Obituary: Elizabeth Joyce Wells Schafer died surrounded by family in Santa Maria, Calif. on May 5, 2015 due to complications related to advanced Parkinson’s. She was 89. Joyce was born in Port Washington, New York in 1925. She was the youngest child of a family whose fortunes rose and fell in the era’s headwinds. Her father, Edward James Jones, worked for a time on Wall Street, but lost his job in the stock market crash of 1929. Her mother, Elizabeth W. Jones, was a model—Joyce occasionally appeared with her in advertisements—who later worked in nursing after her husband’s early death and the onset of World War II. When the War was over, Joyce’s life suddenly became something of a love story. In the housing shortage following the return of soldiers in the summer of 1945, families across the U.S. rented spare rooms to the young, single men coming home. Joyce’s mother, too, leased a room in her home to a group of three Navy veterans looking to explore New York in the wake of victory. It was serendipitous. Not long after they moved in, one of the men fell for Joyce, who worked for a time at the Bank of Manhattan in New York City. a brief courtship, the couple moved to California’s rural Central Coast, where, in 1948, Joyce married Charles Edgar Wells, a quiet, thoughtful Navy pilot and graduate of Arroyo Grande High School whose family had lived in the area for years. In many ways, Joyce’s new life in California reflected the country’s postwar boom. She moved into a suburban home and had two children, spending many happy years as a devoted wife and mother at the end of a cul-de-sac on Sandy Court in Santa Maria. There were evenings of catch baseball on the grass outside, high ball cocktails, the nightly news, and time spent with the family’s two dachshunds, Tiger and Peanut. Following the death of her first husband, Joyce married the late William Schafer. In their retirement, they traveled North America, caravanning through Mexico, Canada, and much of the U.S., from Florida to Alaska. In these years, the couple also spent weeks at a time camping at the “R Ranch” near Klamath Falls, Oregon. Joyce’s wry humor endured throughout her life—as did her characteristic New York accent. She was known as a storyteller, an organizer of social events, and a sharp hand at cards. Among her favorites was the game “Thirty-One.” To the very end, she couldn’t help but tell jokes—and tell her family how much she loved hearing the sound of their laughter. She is survived by her two children, Thomas Edward Wells and Carol Joy Jeanson of Nipomo, California. She leaves behind three grandchildren, Amyko Joy Wells of San Francisco, Calif., Charles Joseph Wells of London, England, and Ian Thomas Wells of Cambridge, Mass. She also leaves behind William Schafer’s children: Susan Wiegman (née Schafer), and husband Ken, Sarah Schafer, William “Jake” Schafer (Laura) and Margaret Schafer.(Andrew) and grandchildren Ryan, Eric, Isaac, Brendan, Jessica, and Daniel. The family wishes to extend special blessings to longtime caregivers Avelina Romero, Ida Villaros, and Lily Sarmiento. Donations in Joyce’s memory may be made to the Salvation Army. |
