Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many, ever faithful in her love of God, she was called home to Heaven. She had a particular passion for gardening, photography, drawing, painting, crafts and cooking. Although her body was ravaged by the effects of M.S. for many years, she never complained and had a smile for everyone. “Why me?” was never a part of her vocabulary and she did not let anything slow her down or lessen her involvement in family and friends’ life activities. She is now free from her wheelchair and walking with our Lord. She was an inspiration and strength to all who knew her.

She was born in Elbert, West Virginia to Britton and Eva Day. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother James, and sisters Betty and Brenda.

She is survived by: the love of her life, husband of 53 years, Carlton Campbell of Turner; sons Robert (Amber) Campbell of Ontario and Alan (Robin) Campbell of Albany ; daughters Anita (Mike) Deutschman of Albany, and Eva Campbell of Turner; grandchildren Craig, Derick, Theresa, and Cayman Campbell, Makenzie and  Haylee Michael, Tanner and Chase Gardner; great-grandchildren Katelyn and Koby Wellman and Sypher Campbell; brothers Daniel (Joann) Day of Elbert, West Virginia, George (Faye) Day of Whitell, Tennessee, Joe (Glenna) Day of Princeton, West Virginia, Mack (Juni) Day of Gambrills, Maryland; sisters Pearlie McClendon of Scottsboro, Alabama, Penny Hornick of Westminster, California, Margie (Harold) Jones of Forest, Virginia, LaRue (Daryl) Smith of Huntinton Beach, California; as well as many numerous nieces and nephews.

Scio – Joyce Marie Bynum Morse blessed her parents, Daniel (Dick) Bynum and Betty Jean Sledge Bynum, as she entered this world on March 16, 1942 at the Salem Hospital.  On April 14, 2013, following a multitude of extended illnesses Joyce left this world to spend eternity with her Savior.  Her parents and her sister, Carol Myers preceded her in death.  Joyce grew up in and devoted her life to the small community of Scio, Oregon.  She married her husband, Ken Morse, on March 12, 1960 at her parents’ home on Rodgers’ Mountain.  They initially set up house keeping and began their family in California, returning to Scio in 1962.  They became the proud parents of three little girls, Chris, Cori and Carrie.  Joyce graduated from Scio High School three months following her marriage to Ken and later attended Linn Benton Community College.  She spent a short period of time as a Real Estate agent; however, after becoming the city recorder and manager for the City of Scio, she thrived on a routine that lasted thirty years.  It could be said that the City of Scio was her second love, right next to her husband and family.  She devoted many long hours to her work and her love for her community was a gift for all.  Joyce truly considered Scio “her” city, serving as Grand Marshall of the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair parade in 2008.  Her experience helped to make her volunteerism a legacy to the community.  In addition to her long work hours, Joyce was an active member of the Scio Lions’ Club for many years, receiving the prestigious Helen Keller Benefactor award in 2008 as a tribute to her years of dedication.  She headed up and participated in a multitude of activities throughout the years, including serving as Treasurer to Boy Scout Troop # 326 for which she received a treasured Certificate of Appreciation.  Another organization that Joyce supported with her zeal for improvement was the Linn Library League.  She spent long hours supporting and assisting the group to meet its goals.  Last, but certainly not least, was Joyce’s love for bowling.  She was a board member of the Oregon State 600 Club; manager of the Mid-Valley Bowling Association, as well as life member  and past secretary of the Albany Women’s Bowling Association.  Joyce will be missed by her fellow members, not only for her skills, but her dedication and belief in being a true and loyal friend.  Joyce is survived by her husband Ken of Scio and daughters; Chris Thayer of Scio, Cori Luckini and husband Randy of Albany, Carrie Gollehon and husband Jeff of Vancouver, Washington; grandchildren; Sarah Gollehon of Portland, Oregon, Lyndie Brown and husband Ryan of Jefferson, Oregon, Thomas Thayer and fiancé Candi Kanster of Leganon, Oregon, Justin Sabin and fiance Natalie Hopkins of Scio, Kelsey Thayer and fiancé Mike Harig of Lyons, Oregon, Allie and Evan Gollehon of Vancouver, Washington, great grandchildren; Audrey Brice of Portland, Oregon, Nevaeh Thayer of Lebanon, Oregon and brother; Larry Bynum and wife JoAnn of Lebanon, Oregon, Richard Bynum and wife Janet of Kearny, Arizona.  Joyce was also blessed with many nieces and nephews and a multitude of close friends.  Her life was a testimony of determination and never ending hope and care.  A Memorial to celebrate Joyce’s life will be held at the Scio Christian Church on Tuesday, April 23, at 11:00 A.M.  Donations may be made to your favorite charity in Joyce’s memory.  Arrangements by Weddle Funeral Services.
