Joyce Ann Brewer Gawenda

Joyce Ann Brewer Gawenda, of Covington, passed away Sunday, June 29, 2025, at the age of 83. Mrs. Brewer was a soft-hearted soul, a true social butterfly and a cat lover. She loved sipping on a Coke, listening to country music, catching up on the latest gossip over the phone, and never missed her soap operas. For over 30 years, she and Rudy proudly owned and operated Pine Valley Trailer Park, a place she deeply loved and took great pride in. They also proudly ran RMK trucking in Covington for many years. She was admired by all the truck drivers that worked for her. She was also the oldest of 12 siblings. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, J M and Sadie Mobley; siblings, John Henry Mobley, Gerald Mobley, Penny Mobley, Steve Mobley.

She is survived by her children, Joi Kendrick, April Franklin, Larry “Fuz” Brewer, Jr., (Angie) Timothy “Pumpkin” Gawenda; many grandchildren, Lisa Mitchell, Erica Perry, Addison Brewer, Daylan Brewer, Parker Brewer, Rocky Brewer, Alyssa Brewer, Holly Franklin, Caden McCauley, Jaden Gawenda, Cheyenne Gawenda, Mykaylo Gawenda, Mason Gawenda, Grayson Gawenda; and great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Jimmy, Liz, Jean and Little Gerald, Lola, Tony, Felton, Charlene and Frankie. She will be remembered for her warm heart, lively spirit, and the joy she brought to those around her.
