Joyce A. Winkleman-O'Brien, 63, of Renovo passed away Monday, October 20, 2025 at her home surrounded by loved ones.
Born November 16, 1961 in Renovo, she was a daughter of the late Otto and Dorothy Eschenbach Winkleman.
She was baptized at First Methodist Church, Renovo.
Joyce enjoyed everything about nature, whether she was camping, birdwatching, gardening or tending to her plants.
She looked forward to each new season of her favorite television show, Survivor.
Most cherished, though, was the time she spent with her family, especially her grandchildren who were her world.
Surviving are her children, Shelvia McDermit-Slota and Darryl McDermit, both of Renovo; goddaughter, Jessie Taylor-Kramer of Williamsport; siblings: Dorothy (Butch) Getz of Renovo, Debra McDonald of Lock Haven, Jean Winkleman of Renovo, Kenneth (Jody) Winkleman of Mill Hall and Linda Moyer of Lock Haven; grandchildren, Nisaya, Gregory, Kylee, Molly, Emma and Nyla; a great grandchild on their way; as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers: Otto, Michael and Shawn Winkleman.
Per her wishes, services will be at the convenience of her family.
Because of her love for animals, memorial contributions in Joyce's name may be made to Clinton County SPCA, c/o Donald G. Walker Funeral Home, Inc., 231 High St., Flemington, PA 17745.
