Joyce Lewis Young

Joyce was born on July 8, 1928 in Assetmequaghan, QC to the late Westley Irving and the late Edna Martell.

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Joyce Lewis Young, a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and dedicated community member, at the remarkable age of 95.

Joyce is survived by her loving children, Cheryl and Derrick; cherished grandchildren, Kayla Madore, James Madore, and Zackery Williamson; and great-grandson, Kason Madore.

Throughout her life, Joyce was an active member of the Flatlands Women's Institute and attended the First Baptist Church. She was also a proud member of the Rising Sun L.O.B.A. and dedicated her time to various charitable events.

Joyce and her husband, James, were married in Montreal and returned to Flatlands in 1975, following the passing of Westley. She delighted in family reunions, listening to stories, and creating memories. Her passions included sewing, reading, and gardening.

Joyce worked at North East Pine in Atholville, later transitioning to the Soldiers Memorial Hospital Gift Shop, and finally, the Campbellton Regional Hospital after amalgamation.

Besides her husband James, she was predeceased by her brothers Clark, Max, Westley Jr, Alfred, Alistair, Lorne, Wayne and Don, her sisters Viola Gokey, Muriel Heathcote, Edna Shaw and Berneice Ferguson.

A Graveside Service for Joyce will be held at the Flatlands Cemetery on Wednesday, July 10 at 3:00 pm.

A donation in memory of Joyce can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The family will welcome family and friends at Maher's Funeral Home, 33 Lansdowne St., Campbellton on Wednesday from 1:00pm until departure for the service.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.maherfuneralhomes.com for the family.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted in the care of Maher’s funeral Home, Campbellton.
