Joyce K. LeMauk, 86 of Derry, NH died Sunday November 10, 2024 at the Colonial Poplin Nursing Home, Fremont, NH. Joyce was born in LaHarpe, IL on September 11, 1938, a daughter of the late Robert and Pauline (Douglas) Morton. She was raised and educated in Illinois before moving to N. Andover, MA and later Derry, NH.
Joyce was known as a caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who always took the time to help family, and who served as model to everyone for all the roles in life she played. She had an exceptionally strong work ethic, developed during her early years growing up in a close-knit farming community. She carried this through to her final decade of life, when she was still active in both work and volunteer activities for those less fortunate. To know her was to love her.
She is survived by three sons, Christopher LeMauk, Derek LeMauk, and David LeMauk, all of Derry, five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one brother, Mark Morton of Illinois, and one sister, June Huff of Illinois. She was predeceased by her husband, Brian C. LeMauk, her brother, Frank Morton, and by her sisters, Rose Morton, and Anna Lou Clawson.
Following cremation, memorial services may be held at a later date at the family’s convenience. The Peabody Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 15 Birch St., Derry is assisting the family with arrangements.
