Obituary - Joyce Ann Giaccetti
A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 7, 2022 at Mt. Washington Cemetery in Independence, Missouri.
Joyce was born in Lee’s Summit, Missouri on June 1, 1950 to Lawrence Griffith and Margaret (Long) Griffith. After graduating high school she continued her education briefly. Joyce worked at Hallmark for many years in Kansas City. However the most important job for her was a mother. Joyce enjoyed doing anything with her hands such as quilting, sewing, and puzzles. She was also an avid reader and more than anything enjoyed spending as much time as she could with her grandchildren.
Joyce was preceded in death by her loving husband, Terry Giaccetti; parents, Lawrence and Margaret Griffith; son, Travis Giaccetti; and brother Allan Griffith.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Tracie Biggerstaff (Nick); three grandchildren, Olivia Biggerstaff, Gianni Giaccetti, and Gino Giaccetti; and daughter in law, Taylor Richter (Giaccetti).
Arrangements: Cullen Funeral Home, Raymore, Missouri 816.322.5278
Arrest made in Belton
While officer(s) were in route, the suspect exited a neighbor’s vehicle with some property and was last seen around Stacey Dr. and Monroe Ave. Witness(es) had observed the suspect remove items from one vehicle and put into another vehicle.
When officers located the suspect, he attempted to flee resisting arrest, but the officers were able to secure him. The officers on scene learned the truck used by the suspect was stolen out of Kansas City.
The officers confirmed prior to their arrival that the suspect attempted to steal a 2010 Ford Ranger by rolling it approximately 20 feet, but he could not get it started. The subject went back to the stolen vehicle where officers were able to take him into custody. This is a great example of valuable information that we get from our citizen(s). Citizen(s) know how to spot suspicious behavior in their neighborhoods since they know what is out of the ordinary.
This case led to the arrest of a thief preying on our community.
