Joyce Hultman Meyer

Joyce Hultman Meyer, 76, of Billings, passed away on June 6, 2011, at the Horizon Hospice Home in Billings. Joyce was born on April 4, 1935, in Essex, IA, the daughter of Marvin F. and Edna J. (Swanson) Hultman. She was educated in Essex County public schools, and graduated from Red Oak High School in Red Oak, IA.

Joyce went on to attend the University Of Iowa College Of Nursing, where she received a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. She made nursing a lifelong career, beginning as an Obstetrical Nurse at the University Hospital of Cleveland, moving on to Holy Rosary Hospital in Miles City, MT, and retiring from St. Vincent Healthcare as a Mother/Newborn nurse, in 1999. In addition to her hospital work in Miles City, Joyce was an instructor for the Miles Community College Nursing Program. Her desire for continuing education led her to achieve her Masters in Nursing from Montana State University Bozeman, in 1994.

Aside from nursing, Joyce valued her time spent with her family, her volunteer opportunities, her church activities, and hobbies. She was an avid gardener and loved to read and knit. She was a member of Shiloh United Methodist Church and was involved in Bible Study and the United Methodist Women’s Circle. Joyce volunteered her time and talents at St. Vincent Hospital and Family Services, Inc.

Joyce is survived by her husband of 52 years, Armin Dan Meyer, of Billings; children Mark D. (Andrea J. Beddes) Meyer of Great Falls, Eric F. Meyer of Steamboat Springs, CO, and Dean M.
