While there I met the man I married, Mel Mattson. We moved to Northern Virginia and have lived there ever since. I was fortunate in being able to stay home with our children, six girls and one boy. All our children are college graduates, only three live here in Virginia, with the others living in four other states. My life has been full with both community and church involvement. I have been a girl scout leader and president both of a PTA and of our civic association. At church I have served in the women's organization and as lector and eucharistic minister. Trinity College in Washington, D.C., established a program twenty years ago, called Education for Parish Service, to train people in Church ministry. A two-year course, it gives an excellent background to lay persons. Since completing the course, I have been involved in adult education, particularly in the Old Testament. The past two years I have developed a program on women in the Bible. For the past fifteen years, with the children out of the home, I have made several trips overseas, including three pilgrimages to the Holy Land, as well as to Fatima, Lourdes and Ireland. Mel and I enjoy cruising and have been on several in the Carribean, as well as to Bermuda and crossing the Atlantic. For the past twenty years I have worked for H and R Block January to mid-April. It is work I enjoy, and we do meet interesting people! As some of you may remember, I majored in history, and have retained a love of history ever since. This may explain my love of the Old Testament and it does explain my interest in genealogy. While in Ireland, I visited the village where my ancestors were born. On one of our trips to England, Mel and I went to another village where others emigrated from in 1630. With a daughter's help, I put together a booklet on one side of the family, which all members of our family have. It was great fun to have the opportunity to do the research and to share it with others. ****************************************** Obituary in the Manassas Journal Messenger, 11-29-2004: M. Joyce Mattson, 75, a resident of Falls Church for over 40 years, died at her home in Gainesville, on Nov. 27, 2004 after a lengthy illness. She was born Martha Joyce Wild in Minneapolis, Minn., and grew up in a farming community in Langdon, N.D. After graduating from high school in 1946, she attended the College of St. Benedict, St. Joseph, Minn., from which she graduated in 1950. Upon graduation, she came to Washington, D.C., to work for the National Catholic Welfare Conference. She married Melvin E. Mattson, a career government worker, 1952. Subsequently, she became very active in local affairs, serving at various times as PTA president for Walnut Hill Elementary School, president of the neighborhood civic association, chief election judge for the local precinct, and Girl Scout troop leader for several of her daughters. She also was very involved in church activities with her local parish, St. Phillip's Catholic Church, where she served as both a Lector and a Lay Eucharistic Minister and taught numerous bible study classes. Starting in 1980, she worked for H&R Block as a tax preparer and continued this work until fully retiring in 2000. She had an avid interest in genealogy and did extensive research, tracing her family history back several hundred years. She is survived by her husband of 52 years; seven children, 13 grandchildren, three brothers, and three sisters. The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2004 at Price Funeral Home, 9609 Center St., Manassas.
