JOEL ABRAHAM TROYER

Joel Abraham Troyer, 79, of Kokomo, Ind., died Dec. 19, 2002.

He was a charter member of Parkview Mennonite Church of Kokomo.

He is remembered for his life of service and self-giving in the church and in the community. A contractor by vocation, he was a disciple of Jesus who took his faith seriously and ministered both through his verbal testimony and his giving. Just before his death, Parkinson's disease greatly affected his life.

Survivors include his four daughters, Rachael Hochstedler and her husband, Robert; Anna Lois Mohr and her husband, Ron; Carol Shank and her husband, Michael; and Phyllis Arroyo and her husband, David; and eight grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his spouse, Mary Ellen Haarer.

Memorial services were held at Howard-Miami Mennonite Church.
