Joyce was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, Luther Caughorn, Jr., as well as her son, Luther "Bubba" Allen Caughorn, and twelve beloved siblings. Their absence is felt deeply, yet their memories bring comfort to those she leaves behind.

Joyce is survived by her three daughters, Linda Weiler (Rick), Rosa Davis, Peggy Knight (Jack), and her two sons, Eddie Caughorn (Neva) and Kenny Caughorn (Lucy). She was the proud grandmother to twelve grandchildren Jeff Hurley, Rhonda Godfrey, Wendy Shelton, Gloria Massengill, Stephen Harris, Jennifer Gerino-Brown, Brian Caughorn, Rebecca Davis, Michael Knight, Nick Caughorn, Matthew Caughorn, and Austin Caughorn and a great-grandmother to twenty great-grandchildren, as well as five great-great-grandchildren. Each of them carries a piece of her legacy in their hearts and lives, and they are forever grateful for the love, laughter, and wisdom she shared.

Throughout her life, Joyce embraced her role as a devoted housewife, nurturing her home with warmth and care. In addition to her family, she was actively involved in her community as a member of the Pinewood Gardens Civic League. Joyce found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved working in her yard, cultivating beauty and serenity.

Joyce’s life was lived with love, laughter, and a deep-rooted connection to her family and community. Her feisty spirit and laughter left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered. As we say farewell to Joyce Rose Caughorn, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love and cherished memories.
