Joyce L. Corkran

Joyce L. Corkran, 78, of Federalsburg, Maryland, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Joyce was a devoted sister, aunt, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her sister, Betty Donaway; her brother, Rickey Corkran; and many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Grover and Elsie Corkran; her aunt and uncle, Lorraine and Calvin Smith; her aunt, Judy Willey; her brother and sister-in-law, Pete and Margie Corkran; her sister and brother-in-law, Shirley (Corkran) and Bob Hollingsworth; and her dear friend, Joyce Walls.

Joyce worked at Maryland Plastics, Thermal Link, and The Kelly Company before retiring from Project Home through the State of Maryland. In this role, she compassionately cared for adults with disabilities in her home for many years. Her work reflected her generous spirit and lifelong commitment to helping others.

She found great joy in spending time with her family and friends, especially hosting large holiday dinners that brought everyone together. Joyce enjoyed playing cards, completing puzzles, and watching western movies. She attended church and her faith was an important part of her life.

Joyce will be remembered for her kind heart, her selflessness, and the love she shared so freely with others.
