Joyce Darlene Ewing Veazey ’51

Joyce Darlene Ewing Veazey ’51, September 26, 2004, in St. Petersburg, Florida, after a long illness. Joyce attended Reed for three years, receiving a bachelor’s degree from Pacific University in 1956. She married Don Lawler; they moved to Ketchikan, Alaska, and with their salmon trawler, joined a fishing fleet. In 1980, she moved to Costa Rica, and four years later took a job with Harcourt, Brace and Javonavitch Publishing Company in Florida. She edited travel books on Costa Rica and worked at book fairs in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami. For the last seven years of her life, she enjoyed classes and work in oil painting in her winter home in Mesa, Arizona. She was an excellent cook, and one who enjoyed introducing children the pleasures of reading. Survivors include two sons, and two sisters. One son predeceased her.
