JOYCE MARTIN HOPE
Sept. 21, 1941-Aug. 17, 2016
Joyce Martin Hope, 74, Goldsboro, was called home Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2016, to the loving arms of Jesus Christ her Lord.
Joyce was born in Wayne County Sept. 21, 1941, to the late John Martin and Mildred Pendergraph. She was married to the late Franklin Hope.
Joyce retired from R.G. Barry Co. in Goldsboro.
Joyce was a caring and loving mom and grandmother.
The faithful life she lived, one of grace and Christian love, could not be diminished by the declining health that she endured.
A service celebrating the life of Joyce will be held by the graveside Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016, at 10 a.m. in Evergreen Memorial Cemetery, with the Rev. Ricky Ham officiating.
The family will greet friends immediately following the service at the cemetery and other times at the home of Danny and Trudy Hope, 302 Shamrock Road, Goldsboro.
Joyce is survived by her daughter, Brenda McGee of Fremont; sons, Danny Hope and wife, Trudy, of Goldsboro, Ricky Hope and wife, Janet, of Goldsboro, Frankie Hope Jr. of Youngsville and Quinton Hope of Goldsboro; and sister, Shirley Hope of Goldsboro.
She is also survived by her grandchildren, Bryan Jones, Tyler McGee, Amy Howell, Allen Hope, Austin Hope, Jordan Hope and Joshua Hope, and great-grandchildren, Bladen Jones, Brantley Jones and Alyssa Lawhorn.
Joyce's family would like to thank Jennifer Kilpatrick and the staff of Love and Faith Caregivers, particularly Napthali Hooker, who cared for her daily.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Kenneth Copeland Ministries, P.O. Box 961010, Fort Worth, Texas, 76161-9984.
