Mavis "Midge" Troyer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 9, 2017.

Mavis “Midge” Jaunice Troyer, 81, of Hot Springs, went to be with the Lord on September 7, 2017. She was born in Mountain Pine to the late Jewel and Alice Smith.



Mavis graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1954. She then obtained a degree from Delta State College in Cleveland, Mississippi and went on to receive her Masters from the University of Washington.



Mavis spent her life enriching the lives of others as a school teacher and her teaching took her many new places in life. She taught in Mississippi and several places in Alaska before retiring in Hot Springs where she taught Sunday school classes. Mavis’ faith was important to her, as was her church family at River of Life Church of God.



Meeting Mavis in Heaven is her sister, Winona Colbert; brother-in-law, Jack Colbert; sister-in-law, Ivonia Smith; brother-in- law, Phillip Arguello and great niece, Alexis Arguello.



Left to cherish her memory is her devoted husband, Irvin Troyer; son, Larry Troyer (Shelly), granddaughters, Leslie and Hannah Troyer; brother, Dwight Smith; sisters, Joyce Arguello and Naomi Smith.



A visitation will be held from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, September 12th at the River of Life Church with a Celebration of Mavis’ Life to immediately follow at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor Lance Arguello officiating. Burial will be at Memorial Gardens Cemetery.



Pallbearers will be Kade Arguello, Eddie Livingston, Blake Livingston, Daniel Garcia, Robert Arguello and Terry Smith.



Honorary Pallbearers include, Ray and Ann Hood, Cody Livingston, Clarence Mason, Carl and Phyllis Cranford, Darren Arbour and Judy Garcia.



In lieu of flowers the family has requested memorials be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Aunt Midge is one of the kindest, most genuine, and compassionate people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and made everyone feel so loved.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Mig. Yes, she was a genuine Christian and lived it every day. She brought peace where there was little; and, always put others first. Mig comforted others and was known to say a pleasant word to everyone she met. I will always remember the long ride to Kremmling, CO, with snow drifts four feet high! Larry was just a baby and we piled our coats on top of him, due to the car's heater not working. We sang to keep our spirits up. Mig will ne missed, but there to greet her are many loved ones, I will miss her too.

My Sister, Mavis, Mig, practiced the 5 P's:
(Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance).
If the instructions said 7 times, then 6 was not 7. She fought an awesome fight. She ran an exciting race with scholars watching intently. She crossed the Finish Line with sounds of bells, whistles, drums, and flags waving. And there, awaiting her was her "Crown of Life, " made and custom fit, just for her. It would not fit anyone else. What was it worth? Priceless. What did it look like? Even Mig was speechless as the Lord placed it on her. She saw the Lord "High and Lifted Up."
Mavis and Jesus - WHAT A PAIR!

Words to describe Aunt Mig : devoted Christian, caring, loving, detailed, sincere, kind, encourager, smart, funny, hard worker, always put others first, and diligent. She was adored and respected by all who knew her. We will miss her but her legacy lives on through her prayers and how she lived her life.
