RACINE â Much can be said about Joyce E. Leffler, fondly remembered in the community as a headlining former Mrs. Wisconsin, a realtor, community pillar, political fundraiser and friend to all with whom she crossed paths.
âJoyce had a charm, wit, and undying love to those who were her friends and family,â her children said in an email following her death on Nov. 5 at age 85 from COVID-19. âShe was simply an amazing mom, filled with a zest and zeal for life, all bundled up into one marvelous package. She was the first to compliment a person and make them feel good. This included family and friends â and even total strangers. Seeing
