February 1, 1936 – January 25, 2025
Beverly Joyce Smiley, 88, Fishers, passed away on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis. She was born on February 1, 1936, to Robert Carl and Eileen (Dodd) Wade in Indianapolis.
Joyce graduated from Indianapolis Washington High School. She was a devoted mother who worked multiple jobs to raise her two daughters. She took pride in her work as an office manager for Dr. Ralph Streeter, OB/GYN, for over 30 years. Joyce joined a monthly Bridge club with her seven good friends in the 1970s and was playing to the present day. She was an avid Indiana University Basketball and Bobby Knight fan and would ignore phone calls when a game was on TV. Joyce looked forward to a week on Dale Hollow reservoir fishing with her husband Enoch during many summers. She took great pride in the success of her daughters and grandchildren. Her Beef Stew and Chicken Noodle soup were the best gifts she could give. As a member of Geist Christian Church, Joyce loved her Bible study group. She enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone, including her neighbors in Whisper Knoll, the Kroger staff, her doctors and their staff, her church congregation, and sometimes total strangers. In recent years, Joyce was known for the bling in her wardrobe, her silver hair, and how she sparkled everywhere she went.
She is survived by her daughters, Carla (Kirk) Bidwell and Stacy (Vince) Salupo; grandchildren, Patrick Bidwell (Clarissa Johnson), Kelsey Bidwell, Nicholas (Ellyn) Salupo, and Andrew Salupo (Kaylin Worthington); and great-grandchildren, Lincoln and Salvatore.
In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by her husband, Enoch C Smiley, Jr.; brother, Robert W. Wade; and sister, Sharon Gail Wilson.
Visitation will be from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, January 30, 2025, immediately followed by a funeral service with Pastor Kyle Brown officiating. Visitation will be held at Randall & Roberts Fishers Mortuary, 12010 Allisonville Road, Fishers. A short graveside service and burial will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, January 31, 2025, at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, 9700 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis.
