Joyce Mcdonough Obituary, Death cause – Beyond her professional accomplishments, Joyce McDonough’s passion for libraries and librarianship extended into her personal life. She played a pivotal role in nurturing a love for reading in her four nieces. Though she had no children of her own, Joyce poured her affection into her family, creating a home filled with warmth, knowledge, and the companionship of two beloved golden retrievers, Mackenzie and Spirits.

Joyce’s familial ties were marked by profound love and support. She was preceded in death by her brother Frank J. McDonough III and her parents Francis J. and Linda (Monroe) McDonough Jr. She is survived by her sister Kathleen (Mike) McGarry, nieces Erin (Dan) Tavares, Red McGarry, Kelly (Chris) Pappas, Liz McGarry, great-niece Abigail Tavares, and great-nephews Jack and Billy Pappas and Lucas Tavares.

Affectionately known as “Auntie” to all who loved her, Joyce G. McDonough’s legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the knowledge she imparted, and the love she generously shared. Her impact on her nieces is a testament to her nurturing spirit and her ability to instill a love for learning. In the hearts of her family, Joyce will forever be a source of inspiration, guidance, and enduring love.

As we bid farewell to Joyce G. McDonough, the wish is for her to rest in eternal peace. The library community, her family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her are left with cherished memories and a profound sense of gratitude for the contributions she made to the world of libraries and to the lives she touched. Joyce’s legacy serves as a beacon, guiding future generations in the pursuit of knowledge and the love of literature.
