Joyce Ellen Adamcewicz

Joyce Ellen Adamcewicz, beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away on March 11, 2026 at the age of 79. After graduating from Norwich Free Academy in 1966, she earned her nursing degree while raising her family. A dedicated nurse who found deep fulfillment in caring for others, she especially cherished her years as a visiting nurse.

Her love of the ocean drew her to Mystic with her husband, Steve Adamcewicz. There she spent many joyful weekends on the boat and savored her favorite summer treat of a cold mudslide on Block Island. A reiki and shiatsu master, Joyce was a guiding light to her friends and grandchildren. She brought laughter wherever she went and held a special affection for hummingbirds, fairies, dragonflies, sewing, the beach, and her favorite Disney character, Olaf.

Adventurous and passionate, Joyce lived life to the fullest. She loved to travel, enjoy live music and dancing, and spend time with family. Fiercely loyal, she was the person others knew they could count on. She is survived by her sons Peter Kryzwicki, Shawn Fake (Shannon), and Todd Fake, her stepson Chet Adamcewicz (Ashley), her grandchildren Isabelle Klepach-Fake, Ashlee, Kylee, Liza, and Andrew Fake, Peter and Alex Kryzwicki, her mother Bernice Senkewitcz, her siblings Nancy Bliven, Cathy Miller (Dale), and Richard Pignataro, and many dear friends and family members. She was predeceased by her father Frances C. Pignataro, her husband Steve Adamcewicz, and her daughter-in-law Jennifer Fake.
