Though cancer claimed her body, it never defeated her spirit. She was born in Star Valley, Wyoming on November 3, 1938 to FAd Middaugh and Irene Lippold Middaugh. Joyce married young and had 4 children; she always said she grew up with them; Deborah Smith, of Texas, Tammy Gustin of Oregon, Richard Polston of Hawaii, and Pamela Mayfield of Montana. She was an avid reader and wrote poetry, she loved gardening, painting and baking lovely cakes. A successful entrepreneur, Joyce owned a shoe store in Reedsport Oregon, she and her late husband Ed Smith owned and operated Gump's Construction Company and the Dew Drop Inn of Shelton Wa. Never finishing high school did not stop her zeal for education, she attended beauty school, obtained her reai estate license and fulfilling her late husband's wishes, obtained her contractor's license and completed and sold two homes. She had a very generous heart and a stubborn ornery streak that didn't allow life to take advantage of her. Her drawings, sense of humor, smile and laughter will be sorely missed. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, Robert Middaugh, and sister, Eunice Friend. She is survived by her sister, Layle Tahja, brothers Ronald and J Middaugh, also by her four children, eight grandchildren, and eight great- grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, great and grand nieces and nephews.
