Joyce Khan

Joyce Khan, age 35, was unexpectedly called to be home with the Lord this past Tuesday. The only daughter of Saleem and Josephine Sultan, and the loving wife of Sharoon Khan, she passed away during surgery.

She is survived by them as well as by her brothers Shaleem (married to Kanwal) and Ashbel (engaged to Mishma). Joyce grew up in Sahiwal, Pakistan; received her higher education in Lahore; and moved in December 2019 to the U.S., where she began working at Northwestern Hospital in Grayslake, Illinois. Having practiced medicine in northern Pakistan for two years, she was pursuing an additional master’s in nursing here. She was deeply involved in Redeemer Life Church in Vernon Hills and also served in the community. She had a deep love for Jesus Christ, which she shared with everyone she met through her smile, her words, and her actions.

She married Sharoon Khan in March 2022 and lived happily in Waukegan. On November 18th, 2025, while having her lymph nodes removed, she suffered excessive blood loss and was tragically unable to pull through.

She loved serving others, shopping, eating out, laughing, and playing games, and even enjoyed horror movies. Though our hearts are broken and our grief is immeasurable, we know that she is rejoicing with her Heavenly Father and her Lord Jesus. Our hope, comfort, and peace come from that.

She touched many hearts and will be very deeply missed.

Her visitation will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 10:30 am at Libertyville Covenant Church, 250 N St Marys Rd, Libertyville, Illinois 60048. Funeral service will begin at 11:00 am at the church as well. Interment will follow to Avon Cemetery, in Grayslake, Illinois. Arrangements are entrusted to The Memorial Chapel of Waukegan.
