Joyce M. (Manning) Derosier, 77 of Hudson, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Thursday, November 8, 2018, after a period of declining health.
Joyce, the oldest of four children of the late James Joseph and Lilian M. (Davison) Manning, was born on August 10, 1941, in Newport, R.I. Joyce was raised in Newport and following high school spent much of her early adulthood living the nomadic life across the country and abroad as a military wife, raising her son along the way. She later moved to the Northborough and Berlin area, where she lived until eventually settling in Hudson 19 years ago. She had a long and successful career, later retiring as a senior electronic technician at EMC Corporation.
