Craig, Joyce Coleman
Joyce Coleman Craig 4/12/1922 ~ 6/03/2005 On the evening of June 3rd 2005 our
precious mother, sister, and grandmother took her last peaceful breath then
faded into celestial peace. Leaving her children at her bedside and reuniting
with her parents, Guy and Teresa Coleman; and her brothers, Lowell, and Pete.
Joyce was born April 12, 1922 in Midway, Utah. She had a fairytale childhood.
Her father owned and operated Colemans store and theatre in Midway. Because of
the long hours he dedicated to the store, their family time was limited to
early morning hours. They would have sunrise breakfasts in the canyons, the
mountains, and at Grandma Springer's house. Another magical memory of hers was
sleeping on the balcony of their home with her brothers and sisters under the
stars. She was crowned Miss Blackhawk Queen when she was 17, but the true
jewels in her crown were her children and grandchildren. Joyce was a local
employee at the Homestead Resort where she worked for 30 years. She had the
privilege of meeting church presidents, high officials, and celebrities. She
had a unique quality or charisma about her that made everyone she met feel
special. All who knew her considered her a friend. She auditioned for and was
selected to act in a nationally televised commercial. She loved politics,
campaigning for her favorite candidates, her father and her brother. Both were
Wasatch County Commissioners. She also campaigned, together with Robert
Redford, when Wayne Owens ran for the Senate. Joyce loved autumn leaves, going
for rides up Snake Creek, and going for breakfast with her sisters. She loved
going shopping, bowling, and watching the Jazz games. She leaves behind her
best friends and sisters, Rose Hoyt, and Maud Derry of Midway, Utah. Her
children are Richard Thomas Jones, Valerie Teresa Thacker (Jay R.), Mary Kae
Atkinson (Farrel), KrisAn Craig, Kenneth Coleman Craig, and Carol Pelton
Boehme. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, June 7, 2005, 11 a.m. in the

Kolob Care and Rehabilitation Center of St. George for their unyielding
devotion and care. And the Applegate Home Health for their genuine compassion
in our time of sorrow.
