Joyce Jane Sittig

Joyce Litteral Sittig, 90, passed away on Saturday, February 26, 2022, in her home surrounded by her family.

A native of Sulphur, Joyce was a 1948 Sulphur High School graduate. She married Frank William “Bill” Sittig in Fort Bliss, Texas on June 3, 1948. Joyce followed along with her husband throughout his military career until he retired from the service in the early 1960’s. She and Bill moved back to Sulphur in 1983, residing next to her son.  Joyce proudly served as a member of Houston River Waterworks first board of directors, helping to establish the Houston River community. She was long time member of St John Bosco Catholic Church in Westlake and for the last 10 years attended Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church with her family. Joyce loved being outdoors working in her yard and flower gardens. Her family was everything to her, and Joyce cherished every moment spent with her loved ones.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Era Litteral; sisters, Lerine Litteral and Geraldine Litteral Franklin; and her husband of 54 years, Bill Sittig.

Left to cherish her memory are her son, David Sittig and daughter-in-law, Terry; three grandchildren, Brent Sittig and wife Jessica, Blake Sittig and wife Danna; and Britney Spell and husband Michael; great grandchildren, Haley, Sydney, Jacie, Nicole, Caitlin, Austin, Brandon and Bailey; and four great-great grandchildren.  She will also be greatly missed by her sister, Sharon Romero and her husband Michael; her brother Butch Litteral and the young man who gave her the joy of becoming a Godmother 21 years ago, Trent Burnham.
