Joyce Renee Chupa

Joyce Renee Chupa, 74, of Twin Falls, Idaho, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on March 9th, 2025. Joyce was born in Pocatello, Idaho, on February 28, 1951. She was adopted along with her sister Lynna by parents Hy and Emily Rosencrantz of Buhl, Idaho. Joyce attended schools in Buhl, Hagerman, Wendell, and Boise State University.

Living on a farm, Joyce enjoyed animals. She loved her horse Target and rode him in Hagerman parades. After college, Joyce returned to Twin Falls and began working at the Buhl Fish Hatchery. The job she enjoyed next was as the office manager for Snake River Chemical, then changing careers to work for the State of Idaho, where she retired. She then worked part-time at Windsors and was, for a time, the lunch lady at O'Leary Middle School.

Joyce married Mike Chupa on April 14, 1990, in Twin Falls, Idaho. They were inseparable from the moment they saw each other. They enjoyed fishing, golfing, and road trips, exploring with their dogs. She had a green thumb and enjoyed the simple things in life.

Joyce is preceded in death by her husband, Michael Chupa.

She is survived by Sisters Lynna Bolen, Millie Deck, and Devon Orgill; Nephews Eric Hansen and Chris Hansen, Nephews Brixton Hansen, and Corbin Hansen; and Great Niece Ava Hansen, as well as her beloved dogs, Opie and Auggie.
