Joye Hopkinson Obituary (2023)

Joye Hopkinson, 91, was born to Ralph and Florence (Horton) Rominger in American Fork, Utah. She passed peacefully from this earthly life at her home in Provo on April 13, 2023. Joye grew up in Provo and graduated from Provo High School which is where she met her husband, Jack Hopkinson. Together they raised five children, Michael, Dan, Linda, Terry and Jeffery, in Provo. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in various callings including as a Provo Temple worker. One of her favorite things was to decorate for holidays. Her Christmas Eve parties were planned weeks ahead and usually featured a country with its food and traditions. Joye loved to travel, visiting places in Europe and cruising ports of call. Along with her Mother and Grandmother she was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. For several years she served as a Pink Lady at the Utah Valley Hospital. She enjoyed putting together puzzles, playing games and watching game shows on TV. In earlier years Joye quilted and crocheted afghans. Joye is survived by 4 of their 5 children, 11 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and 1 great great-grandchild. We find comfort in knowing that those who left before are now welcoming her home: her parents, husband, Jeff (son) and Claude Rominger (brother), along with her beloved grandparents. A gathering for family members only will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, April 21, 2023 at the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. Interment will follow at Eastlawn Memorial Hills, 4800 North 650 East, Provo. Condolences can be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
