At 2:15am she was released from this world to join her long time husband George, leaving behind 5 children and 12 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Born and raised in Winnipeg from 1937 until 2000. A stay-at-home mom who worked tirelessly to raise 5 children. She supported her husband and family with considerable compassion and understanding, resulting in a happy and healthy environment for all to thrive in. In 2000 she moved from the Winnipeg area with her husband to Courtenay, B.C.

Her pastimes were spent reading, completing crosswords and crafting stained glass. Joyce will be greatly missed by all that she crossed paths with and has left us with many great memories that we will cherish forever.
