Joyce Pejakovich

Growing up on a Kansas farm, Joyce Woodard Pejakovich spent her childhood surrounded by animals, both pets and livestock. As a mother to her own three children, she never raised an eyebrow at the dogs and occasional cat that were brought home, often without pre-approval.

A grandmother to nine, all of whom love animals, she shared her home with her husband, Chaplain (Colonel) George Pejakovich, USA Retired, and their 65-pound standard poodle, Jäger.
