Joyce Skorec

Joyce C. Skorec, Clarks Summit, died Thursday afternoon after an illness.  She was the widow of John Skorec, who passed in December 2019.  The couple had been married since 1957.

Born in Scranton, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Sue Purta Jackson.  Prior to retirement, she was employed as a real estate agent.

Joyce was a member of Our Lady of the Snows and St. Benedicts parishes.  She was a graduate of Scranton Central High School, then went on to receive her real estate certification.  She also enjoyed her bowling league at Abington Lanes.

Surviving is a son John Edward Skorec, Lake Ariel.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Marie Jackson.

Joyce and her husband, John, could always be found spending time together in life, so it's fitting that they remain joined in death.  A Memorial Mass for both Joyce and John will be celebrated by Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn, pastor, on Thursday, January 30, at 9:30 a.m. at Our Lady of the Snows, 301 S. State Street, Clarks Summit, PA 18411. Interment will be private in Cathedral Cemetery, Scranton.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
