Joyce R. Carmoney

Williamsburg - Joyce Ruth Carmoney, 78, of Williamsburg, went to be with her Lord on May 16, 2012 after celebrating Mother's Day with her family.

Joyce was born on February 21, 1934 in Mason, Michigan to the late Ralph and Wynona (Wemple) Miller.

On June 21, 1952, Joyce married G. Duane Carmoney in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Together they have shared 59 years of marriage.

Joyce worked in the Central Supply Department at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City before retiring. She was a member of the Yuba Women's Club, and enjoyed sharing her talents of sewing, needlework, and candy-making with family and friends. Joyce's biggest pleasure was her family. She cherished the times they gathered together. Her strong faith, loving kindness and adventurous spirit have left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She will be missed.

Joyce was preceded in death by her brother, Ralph ("Son") Miller, Jr.

Joyce is survived by her husband G. Duane, son Gale (Pat) of Colorado, daughter Christine (Tony) of Arizona, son Steven of Grawn, son Charles (Marcia) of Interlochen, son Keith (Tonya) of Traverse City, grandchildren Carlyn, Samantha and Dakota, a sister Shirley (Leo) Lawless, and many nieces and nephews.

An informal memorial gathering is being planned for sometime this summer. In lieu of flowers and contributions, please visit www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com to share your thoughts and memories with the family.
