Carolyn Joyce Maskrey

Carolyn Joyce Maskrey passed in peace and comfort with her four sons by her side on Monday, June 16 at age 74.

Born in Los Angeles, Carolyn lived her past 45 years in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, dedicating herself to the raising of a family of four boys in the neighborhoods of west Newport. Carolyn will be remembered as a loving and uncomplaining mother, adoring grandmother, and a free-spirited “inn-keeper” to so many of the boys’ friends whom she so lovingly embraced in her always outstretched arms.

She is survived by her four beloved sons and their wives, Tim (Laura ), Brian (Kristin), Steve, and Jim (Yvette) Maskrey. “Gammy” will always be remembered and loved by her seven grandchildren, Ian, Alexendra, Jack, Emme, Daphne, Mitchell and Sean. “Mom” will also be deeply missed by the armies of adopted souls that passed through her life.

Her family will be celebrating her life with friends in a casual, drop-in setting at the home of Brian and Kristin Maskrey, 223 Fairway Place, Costa Mesa on Saturday, June 21 from 2:00 to 6:00PM. The family welcomes anyone whose life Carolyn has touched.
