John and Joyce Waterman will celebrate a remarkable milestone on April 26 – their 70th wedding anniversary!
They first met in seventh grade when John caught a glimpse of Joyce across the room and fell in love. John is one of 11 kids of Ralph and Lela Waterman, life-long residents of Noblesville. Joyce is one of three children of James and Golden Lipps, and she moved to Noblesville from Pennington Gap, Va., when she was very young.
John and Joyce lived in Noblesville, where John was a full-time dedicated farmer and Joyce worked alongside him caring for their six children (Rick, Kristi, Marcia, Kelly, Amy, and Jamie). They had moved to New Castle some years later and are now both retired … and inseparable. Together, they have built a loving family that now includes 16 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
This anniversary is a testament to the enduring love and commitment that John and Joyce have for God, for each other, and for their family.
Please join them in celebrating their many years together at an Open House from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 30 at New Testament Church of Christ, 752 W. Main St., Hagerstown, Ind.
