Obituary: Joyce Kinster, 74, of Hart

Joyce Kinstner

Joyce Arlene Kinstner, 74, passed away March 11, 2024. She was born March 25, 1949, in Fremont, the daughter of George and Gertie (Monroe) McCastle.

Joyce had many working experiences over the years, most of which was service for the elderly. Caring and respecting her elders was instilled in her by her parents from a young age. Joyce had a deep love for her family, cherishing each relationship. She also enjoyed spending her time bird watching, enjoying friends, and flowers. Her most infamous pastime was thrifting and antique shopping. Joyce and Wayne found many treasures over their years of antiquing adventures; Joyce found and adored vintage dishes and jewelry.

Joyce is survived by: her beloved husband, Wayne Kinstner; son, Brian (Christine) Hren; six grandchildren, Madison (Jimmy) Hren, Caleb Hren, Olivia Hren, Cameran (Rachel) Hren, Logan Hren, and Kadence Hren; great-grandson, Theodore Hren; siblings, Marlene McCastle, George McCastle, Alvin McCastle, and Wayne (Darlene) McCastle; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Joyce’s many nieces and nephews continued to be a constant love and support that she turned to often throughout her years.

Joyce’s faith in the Lord and her hope sustained her to never give up, she felt that she was a very blessed woman, and was able to embrace the time she was given.

A Celebration of Life will be held later this spring on a date that has yet to be determined.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Crystal Valley Care Fund, P.O. Box 451, Hart, MI 49420.

Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, King-Hart Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
