Newspaper obituary:
Joyce E. (Klinger) Scherer, 78, of Jeannette, died Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2004, in Westmoreland Regional Hospital, Greensburg.
She was born Feb. 3, 1926, in Williamstown, the youngest of eight children to Charles and Sadie (Lenker) Klinger.
Surviving are her loving husband of 52 years, Lewis B. Scherer Sr; her four children, Jane E. Martin and her husband, Jay, of Atlanta, Ga., Lewis B. Scherer Jr. and his fiancee, Yenda, and her son, Philip Barrios, of Garden Grove, Calif., Mary Beth "Betsy" Hostert and her husband, Tim, of Greensburg, and Charles "Chuck" Scherer, of Asheville, N.C; and three grandchildren, Jonathan, Sarah and Anna.

Joyce is fondly remembered for her infinite kindness to so many people throughout the years.
After graduation from high school, she attended St. Joseph's Nursing School in Philadelphia, and earned her degree as a Registered Nurse. The majority of her nursing career was spent at Women's Medical, in Philadelphia. With the birth of her family, she relinquished her starched hospital whites for Keds and shorts but she continued to "nurse" neighbors, friends and relatives either with her medical expertise or one of her excellent meals. Many a Pa. State Trooper found a hot meal waiting at the end of a cold winter night or a friend could never pass by without an impromptu banquet being served.
Perhaps most noteworthy was her irreplaceable sense of humor. No matter how bleak a situation might appear, Joyce could always make one see the brighter side.
She was a member of Grace United Church of Christ, Jeannette.
