Joyce was born May 21, 1951, in Mandan, the daughter of Leonard and Minnie (Markel) Bullinger. She was raised and educated in Mandan. Joyce worked for the business her father founded, Bullinger Tree Service, before the Bank of North Dakota, where she had worked alongside truly great people for the last 15 years.
Joyce was married to David Fetch on Aug. 19, 1972, at Christ the King Church in Mandan. Joyce and David raised their family in Mandan and Bismarck for the next 38 years.
Joyce dedicated her life to her family, friends and especially her grandchildren. This was profoundly evident in the strength and grace she displayed during her difficult battle with cancer over the last 11 years. Joyce cherished the many times her family and friends gathered together for celebrations and she never missed a chance to spend time or hug her grandchildren.
Joyce touched the lives of everyone around her. She was often called a second mother, a best friend, a soul mate and an inspiration to all.
Joyce is survived by her husband, David, Bismarck; her children, Jason (Tera) Fetch, Sarah (Nate) Krikorian and Michelle (Matt) Waldner, all of Bismarck; her grandchildren, Makenzie, Emma, Jayda, Lily, Ava, Alyssa, Lexie and a new addition due in March; her sisters, Linda (Andy) Lidstrom, Mandan, and Mary Bullinger, Bismarck; her brother, Leonard (Helen) Bullinger, Mandan; many nieces and nephews; mother-in-law, Lucile Fetch; sister-in-law, Elaine (Wayne) Lehde; brother-in-law, Ken Fetch; and sister-in-law, Kathy (Lowel) Salus.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Minnie Bullinger; father-in-law, Nick Fetch; niece, Macy; sister-in-law, Rhonda; and many aunts and uncles.
