Joyce F. Holly

In Memory of Joyce Faith Holly of St. Marks, Florida. Love was the very essence of Joyce Holly. Whenever you thought of her, you thought about love and how much she loved her family and showed love to everyone she met. When God called her home Sunday night, April 17th, her Soul went to be with the Lord, but she left us with the love she always gave so freely. Her time on earth was spent taking care of others. She often took others into her home when they needed a place to live or just needed to be with someone who would love and care for them. Any child that came into her home, whether for a year or more at a time or for an afternoon, was treated just like her own children, and she loved them. Not just family, but friends and even neighbors could see and feel her love. Others often spoke of her beautiful smile and pretty eyes and while we will miss looking upon her face, we won’t have to miss seeing that smile, as it is ingrained in our hearts. Joyce loved family get-togethers, especially on Christmas Eve. She enjoyed her time with friends and the many laughs they shared. She enjoyed the water and rides down the river. She liked reading, trips to Biloxi and cooking. But most of all, she loved taking care of others, which she did so often. She was an angel on earth and due to her faith in Jesus Christ, she is now an angel in Heaven. Joyce is survived by her daughter: Debbie Kosec, son: Chuck Carnivale, sister: Elizabeth Hodgman; Grandchildren: Randy Kosec, Kenny Carnivale, Joyce Carnivale, Erik Kosec (Bobbi), and Krissy Sanders; Great-grandchildren: Kenya, Amanda, Rianna, Anna Marie, Kaylie, Jasmine, Emma, Cayman, Willow and Bay, also many nieces and nephews who meant so much to her. Mama, (Maw-maw, G-Maw) now that you’ve reached Heaven’s beautiful shore, we pray you’ve been reunited with family that has gone on before you and you loved so much. Your parents: Edith and Chuck Woolard, Grandson Anthony Carnivale, Husband Ken Holly, Lifelong friend Tony Carnival and that you are laughing once again with your dear friend Peggy Williams and sharing your beautiful smile with all of Heaven. David Conn and Amber Miller, Bevis Funeral Home, Harvey-Young Chapel in Crawfordville assisted the family.
