It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, grandma and auntie. Joyce passed away in the early morning of March 10, 2011, with her daughter at her side at the Foothills Hospital. In the weeks leading up to mom's passing her children and grandchildren rallied by her side never leaving her alone. Joyce was truly an inspiration to all that met her. She was the epitome of strength, beauty, grace and independence. These gifts were passed down to her children and grandchildren. Joyce raised her six children by herself always putting their needs ahead of her own. She was always there to lend a helping hand or offer her wonderful words of wisdom. Joyce had many medical issues the past few years; she never complained and faced every battle with strength not letting it get her down. Joyce leaves behind her children, William, James (Tracey), Robert, Jeffrey, Bradley and Justine (Jeff); her cherished and much loved grandchildren, Justin, Andrew, Kendra, Carley, Ty, Sarah and Christopher; and expected first great grandson, Blayke, sister, Sandra; three nephews and one niece. Joyce was predeceased by her parents Viola and Earl, infant daughter Jody Noel, sister Gloria and niece Simone. We love you but take comfort in knowing that you are out of pain and in a better place. You will never leave our hearts thank you for everything you have done for us. Special thanks to Dr. Van Dyke for her compassion and the amazing care she provided. Thanks also go to the team that assisted Dr. Van Dyke. At Joyce's request there will be no service. Rather her children will be hosting a private family "celebration" in Joyce's honor. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Children's Make " A " Wish Foundation Southern Alberta 1 403 228 3666, as children were always deep in her thoughts. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.fostersgardenchapel.net.
