obituary
Elaine Joyce Charnstrom – “Mudsy” March 10 1923 – August 28, 2010, aged 87 years
Elaine Joyce Montgomery (known as Joyce) was the only child born to Frederick and Augusta Montgomery at Lockhart, NSW on March 10, 1923.
Together with her parents she moved to the family farm at Lake Rowan where Joyce attended the local school and assisted with the teaching of other students for the last two years. She left school when aged 14 years, worked on the family farm until moving to Melbourne where she stayed with her Aunt and Uncle Christians. Joyce found employment at the Maribrynong Munitions Factory at Footscray in the Army Inspection Section for dentonators, shells and like war equipment. On October 29, 1942 Joyce joined the AWAS (Australian Women’s Army Service) stationed at Murchison in a clerical position handling the Prisoner of War records. Here she met serviceman and future husband Jack Charnstrom; they married in April 1945. Joyce was then transferred to the Albert Park Barracks where she gained promotion as a Corporal. This position she held until the end of the
War in August 1945 and was Honourably Discharged on October 16. Joyce and Johnny then moved to the family farm at Rowan View, Lake Rowan to begin their new life together as farmers. Joyce became one of the founders of the Lake Rowan Progress Association. To raise money to purchase sports ground equipment their farm’s old red maple leaf truck would be seen collecting bottles and dead wood from along the roadside. Joyce also became involved with the Lake Rowan Cemetery, the concerts held in the local hall, cricket, tennis and picnics to name a few. Her passion for golf led her to join the Yarrawonga and Border Golf Club. For over 13 years both Joyce and Johnny became golfing secretaries for tournaments. Joyce also became Lady Captain and President during her golfing career there. For her dedication she received Life Membership of the golf club. It is rumoured that her passion for playing the poker machines earned her the nick name of Mudsy. Together with a friend they played these machines, manufactured by a company known
as Nut and Muddle. Her friend became known as Mrs Nut and Joyce became known as Mrs Muddle; her family altered her name to Mudsy. Another of Joyce’s interests was in genealogy. Together with her friend Jayce Symes who also lived in Lake Rowan and had a like interest in local history, they joined the newly established Benalla and District Family History Group. Together they published two local history books namely, A Journey Through the Parish of Karrabumet 1872 – 1932 in 1988 and the Wilby Walkabout 1873 – 1933 in 1993. Their research skills came to the forefront when they spent numerous days researching records at the Public Records Office situated at Laverton, Victoria, the newspapers at the State Library, and the local rate books. Copies of these two publications were donated to the Benalla and District Family History Group and lodged with the Melbourne State Library. Contained in a letter of appreciation from the State Library acknowledging receipt of same, they were praised for their original and unusual
presentation of these histories. Another highlight in her busy and extraordinary life, Joyce received the Tungamah Citizen of the Year Award in 1995. Life moved on and it was time for them to retire to Yarrawonga where they enjoyed life at a much slower pace. Here they remained until Johnny her life partner, passed away on August 2, 2009. Mudsy continued on her own until May 2010 when she moved into Woods Point (Bently Wood) in Orr Street, Yarrawonga where she passed away peacefully on August 28, 2010. Amongst all her interests immediate family was the most important to her but she enjoyed a wide range of friends who kept in constant touch with her. The funeral service was held at The Chapel of YarrawongaMulwala on Friday, September 3 followed by her interment with her soul partner Johnny at the Lake Rowan Cemetery. Joyce and Johnny had three children namely, Colin, Terry and Shirley, nine grandchildren and eighteen greatgrandchildren.
