Joyce Spitzer

Lifelong teacher Joyce Spritzer died on March 15, 2022, at the age of 79. A service was held March 22 at Temple Sinai, officiated by Rabbi Richard Rheins. Arrangements were made by Feldman Mortuary.

Mrs. Spritzer was born on Sept. 26, 1942, in Cincinnati, OH. She attended the University of Cincinnati and graduated with a degree in teaching. She married Hal Spritzer, and after Mr. Spritzer’s military service concluded the couple moved to Denver.

Mr. and Mrs. Spritzer were married for 59 years until Mrs. Spritzer’s passing.

Mrs. Spritzer’s influence on Denver’s youth began when she began teaching pre-kindergarten at Temple Sinai, where she eventually became director of the preschool. Mrs. Spritzer later taught in Littleton Public Schools.

After she retired, Mrs. Spritzer stayed active in the teaching community, including becoming a member and officer of the honorary teaching sorority, ADK.

“She mentored many students over the years and made such a great impact in the lives and careers of aspiring teachers,” her family said.

Survivors include Mrs. Spritzer’s husband Hal; children Marc (Katy) Spritzer, Stacey (Dan) Shomers; and two grandchildren.
