Our House

Without love a house is just a housea ceiling, walls and oor,

But ll that house with faith and loveand it becomes much more.

Home's a shelter from the storms of lifeand sanctuary too,

For loved ones wait behind the doorto hug and comfort you.

Home may be a simple shanty beneath the stars above,

But blessed are those who dwell within a house that's built with love.

Joyce Evelyn was born June 7, 1932 in Omaha, Nebraska to Margaret Blankenship. At seven days old was adopted by Benjamin and Tillie (Brockmueller) Tollefson. She was baptized and con rmed in the Lutheran church. Joyce grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and graduated from Benson High School. She then attended one year at business college and then went to work as a secretary for Massey Harris.

Joyce loved spending her summers with her grandma in Carthage, SD and this is where she met the love of her life, Seth Hall. During a break in Seth’s deployment, the couple married July 4, 1953 in Gardenia, CA. Seth serving in the Marines, returned to Korea for seven additional months. Joyce returned to South Dakota. Upon Seth’s return from Korea, the family grew, and they were blessed with four children: Randy, Monica, Bob, and Kurt. They made their home on a farm at Carthage, South Dakota until 1977 when they moved to a ranch south of Ree Heights. In 1983, Seth and Joyce moved to Lebanon, Oregon, where Joyce worked for the school district. She there received the nickname, “Duty”. In 1993, they returned to Ree Heights to retire and where Joyce could be closer to her family again.
