Joyce Ann Moss
DURHAM – Joyce Ann Moss, 82, of Durham, passed peacefully at home on April 28, 2026, surrounded by her family. Joyce was born on July 30, 1943 to Raymond and Dorothy Gildart.
Joyce spent her working years being a devoted caregiver and CNA for the special needs community. Joyce fell in love with helping and spending time with her clients, devoting her love and compassion to those in need.
Joyce was the queen of the Red Hat Society, enjoying many years with that organization. During her time spent with the Red Hat Society, Joyce also enjoyed camping and going to Bluegrass festivals including the Blistered Fingers. She loved Maine so much that she moved here so she could fully enjoy all that Maine had to offer.
Joyce was a dedicated friend and was always on the go. She lived life to the fullest in all ways possible.
Joyce was predeceased by her parents Raymond and Dorothy; as well as her loving husband, Lawrence Moss.
Joyce is survived by her son, John Moss, daughter-in-law, Linda Moss; granddaughter, Amber Moss; and great-grandson, Jeremy Davis.
As Joyce requested, there will be no service, instead she would like all to hug a loved one tight and enjoy the time you have with them.
