Joyce Louise John was born January 14, 1917 to Joe and Elizabeth (Buedefeldt) John at Plankinton, South Dakota. She graduated from Plankinton High School in 1935 and attended Dakota Wesleyan University where she received a teaching degree. She later taught first grade in Scotland.
On May 8, 1942, she married Randall Hosterman. When he was discharged from the Army, they started in the restaurant business, owning and operating several cafes in Scotland over the years, ending with the Sportsman Café.
Joyce was a member of the Scotland United Methodist Church and United Methodist Women. She was also a lifetime member of the Scotland V.F.W. Auxiliary.
Joyce loved to knit, and many family members and friends were recipients of her blankets, pillows and slippers. She enjoyed sharing coffee and tea with her many friends and always found time to do the crossword puzzles in the paper. She was a loyal supporter of youth, not just her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but all youth and she would not hesitate to tell them so by word or a special card. She would make special treats for her grandchildren - individual bowls of jello in the fridge and always cookies in the cookie jar. Teaching was an important part of her life. She loved to relate stories of students and events during her first years of teaching in Scotland. She was a willing worker in anything she was asked to help with and was always someone you could count on. Joyce passed away on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at the Good Samaritan Society of Scotland at the age of 92 years and 3 days.
Grateful for sharing her life are her daughter, Betty (Gordon) Davis of Wessington; five grandchildren: Shay (Jackie) Davis of Mitchell, Bryan (Marla) Davis of Yankton, Traci Loecker and fiancé Doug Heidinger of Mitchell, Teresa (Chris) Hart of Mitchell and Tim Davis of Pierre; eight great-grandchildren: Brittany, Nik, Mariah and McKenna Davis, Taylor Davis Bohr, Jordan Loecker, Kelsi and Kaden Hart; two sisters: Vera (Bill) Gunther of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Shirlee Phillips of Great Falls, Montana; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Randall in June of 1981, infant son, John Randall, and brother-in-law, Clarence Phillips.
