Joyce was raised in Vibank, and met and married the love of her life Lawrence Kattler in Vibank. They raised their family in Indian Head. Throughout her life, Joyce worked as a cook in many establishments including Dew Drop-In, the Shell Restaurant and the Indian Head Hotel. She also worked at the PFRA up until her retirement. Joyce was an active member of the Heritage Club, the Community Bible Church and spent a great deal of time cheering on her children and grandchildren in the AJM Davies Arena watching hockey, volunteering and putting many hours in the kitchen.

In her later years, you could find her at the local Karaoke nights enjoying the local talent and singing. When there wasn’t Karaoke you could find her playing cards or Mexican Train, with great passion and vigor and a few choice words. Joyce was happiest when surrounded by family and friends and those who were lucky enough to know her, were left with a lasting impression.

The family would like to leave a special thank you to the staff of Golden Prairie Nursing Home.

The funeral service was held on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. in the Indian Head Memorial HalI, Indian Head, with Pastor Bill Glaspell and Pastor Justin Epp. The interment took place in the Indian Head Cemetery.
