to July 30, 2016

Joyce Moorhead was born Dec. 3, 1923 and passed away at 92 on July 30th from complications of dementia.

Joyce was born in Lewiston, Montana to parents, Robert and Marjorie Martindale. The family moved to Vancouver, Washington so Robert could work in the shipyard. They eventually moved to Ellensburg, Washington, where Joyce grew up and went to school. That's where she met and married Edward Howard. They moved to Bremerton, Washington and had three children. Edward passed away in 1970.

Later she met and married Columbus (Red) Moorhead. They were married for 40 years.

Joyce was a kind and loving person and loved taking care of her family. She volunteered for the nursing home for 20+ years. She and Red were always seen walking their dogs; she also took exercise classes at the senior center. She looked forward to the annual Labor Day camping trip with the family.

She was preceded in death by her late husband, Edward; and her son, Wayne. Joyce's loving memory will live on with her husband, Red; son, Gary Howard (Sandy); daughter, Bonnie McFadden (Dean); stepson, Roy Moorhead; seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be Saturday, August 6, 2016; viewing at noon and funeral at 1 p.m. The services will take place at Miller-Woodlawn Funeral Home in Bremerton, Washington.
