 Joyce “Candy” Moore Karneh
Psalms 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
On Saturday, November 14, 2020 God accepted Joyce “Candy” Moore Karneh into His everlasting arms and granted her eternal peace. Joyce was born September 7, 1954 in Chapel Hill, NC, to the late David & Dorothy Moore. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Thomas White, to which they were blessed with their four children, Catherine, Velma, Thomas and Madia. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Austin Karneh.
Candy, as she was affectionately called, resided in New York until she retired in 2015 and relocated back to North Carolina. She was a faithful member of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Center in Clayton, NC, until her health declined. Those who knew her, knew she loved to cook her African cuisine and entertain her family and friends. Her passion was traveling.
Candy worked for more than 40 years at Seaview Health & Hospital starting as a Nursing Assistant, working up to an EKG/EEG Technician, then at ARHC for more than 20 years as an Assistant Manager.
