Obituary: Joyce R. (Dorney) Nastasee, 84, of Hellertown

Joyce R. (Dorney) Nastasee, 84, of Hellertown passed into her Lord Jesus’s arms on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012. She was preceded in death by her husband, the late Philip C. Nastasee, son Mark G. Nastasee, brothers Paul M. Dorney Jr. and Raymond H. Dorney and parents Paul M. Dorney Sr. and Sara A. (Reiss) Dorney, all of Bethlehem. Joyce was a loving mother to Philip A. Nastasee (wife Susan) of Bethlehem and Rosemary A. Goldstein (husband James) of Brentwood, Tenn., and grandmother to Elizabeth A. Goldstein.

Joyce enjoyed working at Lehigh University for more than 25 years for the Dean of Student Life and in the Linderman Library, respectively. She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, Hellertown. She was also a loving grandmother to Elizabeth Goldstein, her only grandchild.

Joyce could frequently be seen scurrying across Main Street in Hellertown (as she tended to the needs of her husband Philip), which created quite a stir as it caused local business owners to fear for her safety. She was a wonderful care provider for her husband of 59 years and also took loving care of her mother, father and brothers during their times of need. She will be greatly missed.
