Bristol  - Joyce Ladeau Usher passed away at Living Well Nursing Home in Bristol on Monday June 30th, 2008. She was an Alzheimer patient there for several months.

   Joyce, in her early years, worked at Gays Express in Bellows Falls.  But, she decided to move to Windsor where Francis Usher was teaching at Windsor High School.  Before they left Bellows Falls, they got married at St. Charles Church.
