Surrounded by the love of her family, Karma Joyner passed away on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at the Berkshire Rehab and Comfort Center in Orem, Utah, after a courageous battle with cancer. She lived 73 wonderful years. She resided at 518 North 120 West in Lindon, Utah at the time of her death.
She is survived by four children; Terri, Robyn (Gregory), Brent (Cheryl), Wally (Lesley), and daughter-in-law Carmen, two sisters; Senator Paula (Gene) Hawkins and Dr. Carole Wright. As well as, her beloved 19 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, Clifford M. Joyner, her son Crandon Neil Joyner, both of her parents, and a brother Llewellyn Fickes.
Karma was born August 22, 1935 in Newport, Rhode Island to Paul Bert Fickes and Mary Leoan Staley Fickes.
She spent most of her youth in Logan, Utah and later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she met her husband Clifford, whom she married on May 7, 1954. Together they happily raised five children in Atlanta where they were devoted to their children and doing all they could to build the gospel in Georgia.
Karma had a contagious smile and magnetic personality. She has always made friends easily; which have remained great life-long friends. Anything Karma set her mind on, she accomplished. She was artistically and musically talented, and shared those talents with the world.
Karma was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her most cherished callings were teaching music to Primary children, and sharing her love of the gospel as CES director and early morning seminary teacher for the youth in Atlanta, Georgia.
From 2001 to 2003, Karma served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she was called to serve in the Puerto Rico, San Juan Mission, ultimately serving in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Karma returned in 2003 with as much zeal as ever, and devoted herself to another mission in Family History.
Her devotion to family and friends (whom she made to feel like family) will be missed, as no-one can do it like Karma. Even through her final battles, she never stopped putting others before herself.
It was with great effort that she continued to share her love for family and love for the gospel through her fervent testimony through her last minutes on earth."We love you more, Grama! Always have, always will" no-one says it quite like Karma.
