Carolyn Joyce Johnson, 81, passed away peacefully at home on June 29, 2025. She will be remembered with great affection as a loving partner to George Moon, a devoted mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to many.

Joyce was the intelligent voice of reason for her family and friends. She was her daughters’ biggest cheerleader. Joyce was always up-to-date on local and national news, particularly politics. She was a cherished contributor to our daily Facebook family group chat, always providing supportive words and humor. She never forgot to send a birthday card to her loved ones. Her penmanship was perfect.

She held multiple work roles over the decades, with special interests in finance and legal matters. She was also a notary public. Joyce’s work ethic was very strong.

Joyce was born in Rainier, Oregon, to Virginia Jenness Elbon/Guy and Harold Clark Guy. She lived in Hoopa for 52 years.

Joyce will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her cherished partner of 47 years, George Moon; her daughters, Jana (husband Mac) and Eileen; her grandchildren, Brittney, Noelle (partner Noah), Hunter (husband Tyler), Taryn (husband Trent), Virgil, and Dante; and her great-grandchildren, Nylah and River.

The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to George. He provided tireless care for Joyce as her ability to walk diminished over the past six years. He is truly a hero in our book, and we know that he would do it over and over again without question.

Graveside services will be held August 9th at 10 a.m. at the Moon family cemetery. Friends and family are also welcome to come together for a Celebration of Life at the Hoopa Fire Hall from 12 to 2 p.m. Let’s help send Joyce off in the way she deserves.
