SNOW STORM. UPDATE. The visitation and service for Juanita Joyce Redder has been postponed to WEDNESDAY, December 3, 10 to 11AM visitation, 11 AM service, same location thank you. Juanita Joyce (Cole) Redder, 86, of Cedarville, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at her residence. She was born August 13, 1939, in Blue Creek, Ohio, the daughter of Forrest D. and Ruth M. Hughes Cole. Survivors include three children, Charles David, Daniel Forrest, and Karma Sue, nine grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren, and by many close friends. She played piano/organ since she was 12 years old. She and her children traveled and sang gospel music with 4 recordings done in Nashville. Joyce taught school for 35 years, two years in a private Kindergarten in Cedarville and 33 years for Cedar Cliff Local Schools, mostly in the fifth grade. She held offices in the Church of Christ in Christian Union where she became Second Elder in the South Solon church, Deer Creek Zone President, and served on the CCCU District Board and General Board as a Youth Editor where she wrote a monthly article for THE EVANGELICAL ADVOCATE for many years. She then served as Missionary President for the Springfield First Church of the Nazarene for 12 years.

She and her husband, Sam Redder, were married February 2, 1958, and he passed on December 14, 2019. They shared a love for travel which led to touring all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and Holland, Joyce also traveled to Honduras on a Work and Witness team while she was Missionary President. Two Caribbean cruises (Eastern and Western) were highlights in their lives. Joyce surrendered her heart to the Lord at age 8, and was determined to be a willing servant to be used by Him however and wherever He directed.
