Joyce Armstrong Friedersdorff, 93, long-time resident of Middletown, NJ, passed away in her home on Feb. 10, 2026.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a participating church member. A true matriarch, juggling household, children, and the numerous cross-country moves necessitated by her husband's career, who still found time for hobbies and volunteer work. When her children left the nest, she became a dedicated genealogist and enjoyed uncovering generations of family history.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Egbert James Armstrong and Charlotte Lindahl Hass, and daughter Charlotte Friedersdorff Boyd (Robert).

She leaves behind her husband of 71 years, COL Louis Chadwick Friedersdorff, Jr., USA Retired, and three children, Louis Scott Friedersdorff (Deborah), Anne Lindahl Friedersdorff, and David Alan Friedersdorff (Becky). In addition, she was blessed with seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on April 11th at 11 am at Christ Episcopal Church, Middletown, NJ, where she served as head of the Altar Guild for many years. Joyce will be laid to rest in a private committal service at the West Point Cemetery in West Point, NY.
