Elinor Joyce Mohoric

Elinor Joyce Mohoric, 87, passed away peacefully April 29, 2012 at her home on Camano Island. Born February 28, 1925, in Chehalis, Washington, she was the second of four daughters born to Austin and Hazel Duncan.

During WWII when Joyce’s health prevented completion of her training as a nurse, she worked in the Army Finance Corps at Camp Beale, California. Her clerical experience served her well as she provided many years of billing and receivables support for Mohoric’s Gardening. She very much enjoyed traveling the country in a succession of recreational vehicles and she was accomplished at a number of handicrafts, but her greatest joy was found when gathering her family around her—especially for holidays and special occasions.

The family would like to express their gratitude for the extraordinary care she received from Dr. C.J. Kuan, and Debbie Woodard,and the dedicated staff of the Kidney Center. Remembrances may be made in Joyce’s name to the Skagit Valley Kidney Center, 208 Hospital Parkway, Mt. Vernon, WA 98273.
