Title: ETAR Founder Joyce Knefley Health Update
Post by: ETAR on March 15, 2026, 08:39:43 PM
Hi everyone,
This is Celeste from ETAR, Joyce's daughter. Some of you might remember that Joyce has been fighting ovarian cancer for almost 6 years now. She's still strong, in spirit and in faith, although weaker in her body. Her quality of life has been phenomenal compared to the dire predictions that she's gotten, and she still tries (and usually succeeds) in getting 5,000 steps a day! However, her doctors stopped her treatment about a year ago and has recently gotten some bad news.

We would appreciate your prayers, first and foremost. We're always praying for a miracle, as well as some relief from severe pain.

She sometimes spends her sleepless nights reading encouraging comments on Caringbridge, the website that she uses to post her health updates and keep friends and family informed. If you're interested in following her or letting her know that you care, the link is below. It will make you sign up but they don't charge you or send lots of annoying emails!

 Caringbridge CLICK HERE (https://www.caringbridge.org/site/ac7c45d3-771b-11f0-85ed-a7efdaaff978/post/3ae0447f-ccaa-44ba-97dc-cc1205c02dfb?utm_source=website_share&utm_medium=share_button&utm_term=&utm_content=link_share_button&utm_campaign=post_php)

If you prefer the more physical card route, I'm holding a card shower for her. Her address is
Joyce Knefley
4652 US Rt 6 West
Ulysses, PA 16948

Please send cards THIS WEEK if at all possible.
Thank you all and hope to see you at ETAR !
