Joyce Elaine (Mader) Tellman

Joyce Elaine Tellman (Mader), 85, passed peacefully on Saturday morning May 24, 2025 at Hospice House in North Lima surrounded by her family. Joyce Tellman was born on April 18, 1940, daughter of William and Katherine Mader of Canfield.  She was a graduate of Canfield High School, graduating in 1958.  She worked as a banker throughout her life, retiring from Chase Bank in Columbiana in 2002.

Joyce was married to the love of her life, Martin Joseph Tellman on 5/27/1961.  They enjoyed 55 wonderful and fun filled years of marriage.  They are survived by their daughter Laura Tellman, their son Martin “Marty” Tellman and his wife Dawn Tellman.  Joyce was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Martin Joseph Tellman, who passed on 8/13/2016. 

Joyce enjoyed life, religion, and her friends and family immensely.  She had strong faith and love of Jesus with her First Christian Church Family and friends.  She was involved with many groups including Christian Women’s Club, the Red Hat Society, and her card clubs.  Joyce had many friends and would often express how much she cherished each and every friendship she held.  She also had a passion and love for nature, especially the black bears and bobcats from the property in the mountains of PA that she and her husband Marty enjoyed for many years, all birds (especially cardinals), deer, cats and dogs, and so much more. Joyce touched so many lives with her kindness, caring and generosity.  She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made in Joyce’s memory to the First Christian Church at 39 Cherry Street in Columbiana, Ohio 44408.
