Joyce Flynn

Born on Aug. 20, 1933, in Missouri to Alvin and Mildred Kidwell, Joyce Marie Flynn peacefully relinquished her earthly body on Jan. 16, 2015, with her sons and daughter by her side.

Throughout her life, Joyce dedicated herself to her family, finding her greatest joys in the achievements of her children and grandchildren. Friends and family alike delighted in her laughter, quick wit and gentle smile.

Her devoted husband of 38 years, William H. Flynn, cherishes the memories of good times shared during the life they built together. Her brother, Kenneth Kidwell, and nephew Eric Kidwell continue to hold her memories dearly. Joyce will forever remain in the hearts of her children, Mark D. Coe, Robin K. Coe, Tammerly D. Coe and Jordan T. Coe. Ever the proud grandma, she spent many years creating loving memories for her six grandsons, Raif Coe, Kyle Coe, Marshal Reed, Shea Coe, Dylan Volz and Caelen Coe.

In keeping with Joyce’s love of flowers and gardens, a memorial celebrating her life will be held in the spring.

The family wishes to extend their most heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Rosa Rangel, the nurses at Whidbey General and the dedicated staff at Careage, who served as angels for their mother.
