Raymonda "Joy" Mode Hoyle, 82, passed away on November 22, 2024, at Atrium Health Cleveland Hospital.

Born in Cleveland County on July 25, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Gordon Mode and Vernell Padgett Mode. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Barbara Mode.

Joy was a devoted member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church, where her love for children shone brightly as she cared for the nursery for over 50 years, nurturing generations of little ones. Even as her health declined, making it difficult for her to continue her cherished role, she deeply missed the children who had brought so much joy to her life.

Her professional career spanned more than 40 years at Shelby Savings Bank, where she built lasting relationships and served her community. She also cherished time shopping with her granddaughter and had an enduring fondness for chocolate candy.

Joy is survived by her husband of 65 years, Robert Hoyle; her son, Robby Hoyle; her granddaughter, Lacy Walton and husband Darrell; and six great-grandchildren: Alydia, Carter, Rowan, Isla, Zevi, and Aairah. Also left to cherish her memory is her sister Wanda McManus and husband Rev. Paul.

A memorial service to honor Joy's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, December 2, 2024, at Beaver Dam Baptist Church, with Pastor Tom Runyan officiating. The family will receive friends in the church sanctuary from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, prior to the service.

Memorial donations may be made in Joy's memory to the Beaver Dam Baptist Church Nursery.
