Mrs. Joyce Lettau passed away on February 19, 2012 of natural causes at Santa Ynez Cottage Hospital. She was born Joyce G. Biselx on January 8, 1930 to Byron Biselx and Hildegarde Werschem Biselx in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. She was educated in Wisconsin and married her high school classmate, John H. Lettau, on October 14, 1950 at Holy Cross Church, Kaukauna, Wisconsin. They celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary in the year 2011.
The couple moved to Santa Maria in 1959 with their two children. During the early years in Santa Maria, Mrs. Lettau was employed by the Santa Maria Valley Developers, Drs. Foultz and Lagerquist, orthopedic surgeons, later in the office of Fitz-Gerald Realty, and then owner/secretary of Lettau Educational Enterprises, Inc. She was responsible for bringing to Santa Maria, through Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America, its first support group of which she was facilitator for five years.
She is survived by her husband, John H. Lettau, two sons, J. Bradley and Scott Francis and their families, all of Santa Maria; nephew, Tom Thompson and family, of Simi Valley; a dear family friend, Velma Sawdey, of Martinez, CA; and third cousin, Eric Biselx and family, of Champex, CH Switzerland.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Byron and Hildegarde (nee: Werschem) Biselx, and a sister, Karen Ann (nee: Biselx) Thompson.
She will be remembered for her love of gardening, home decorating, sparkly jewelry, politics, football, tennis, being in the kitchen, and talking many hours on the phone catching up with friends and family whom she loved dearly. She will be in our hearts forever and greatly missed!
The Lettau family would like to send out a special thanks to the loving care givers: Julie, MaryChu, and Ruby, for their many hours of helpful assistance at home. In addition, the family wishes to thank the nursing staff and Dr. Beckmen at the Santa Ynex Cottage Hospital for their compassionate and caring treatment. Finally, the family wishes to express its deep appreciation to Dr. Bruce Mize, who touched her life, and helped her get through the hard times over the past thirty years.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her name to Old Mission Santa Inez, for the care of the olive grove recently planted, from which olives and their oils will be harvested and sold for the continued maintenance of the Mission. Contributions can be sent to Old Mission Santa Inez, 1760 Mission Drive, P.O. Box 408, Solvang, CA, 93464.
